I wish to give my testimony regarding the healing in Christian Science. I had heard of the movement many times, and had literature given me to read, but I carelessly put it aside, not being religiously inclined, and laughed at the supporters of such a religion. I had always been a delicate child, and grew into womanhood under the same conditions. Finally, about a year and a half ago, I had an infant nursing and was stricken with an old trouble, tonsilitis, and was told that I could not take medicine as it might affect the baby. As a last resort, I resolved to try Christian Science, though still having my doubts, and fearing to tell my husband, because he would ridicule me; but, being in such misery, I cared not what became of me. I am happy to say that in forty-eight hours I was a well woman. The disease had usually lasted about three weeks, and it took two weeks more to regain my strength, but my strength returned with the healing in Christian Science. When there has been any sign of the disease it has always been met immediately with Science. I also told the practitioner about the sense of limitation in our finances. She said, "Mind is never limited," and a demonstration of the truth has been made, for my husband is earning double his former salary.

I have learned to love the Bible instead of spurning it, and often pause to reflect what I would do without Christian Science. It is a comfort to know that when we try to keep in the straight path, we see the results even where we little expect to find them.

I desire to express my gratitude to the Leader of this movement, whose indefatigable zeal has led so many sin-stricken, sick, and death-stricken ones back to God, to Life, Truth, and Love. I also thank the patient practitioners, who have helped me on in this "mental journey" to see the path and strive to keep in it.
