I have felt for some time that I ought to give expression to my gratitude for Christian Science. According to physical sense I was a great sufferer for many years from rheumatic, catarrhal, and bowel trouble, etc., and for the last ten years almost at death's door from a malignant ulcer. One of Chicago's most prominent specialists had so pronounced it, and said I could not live three years. I went to two sanitariums with like result, and came home to try to bear this trouble patiently and be ready for "the midnight call." I had heard vague rumors of friends in other places who had been helped in Christian Science, but knew not the how or why. Then a cousin in New York wrote that she saw in the Journal that there was a Christian Science practitioner here; and that another cousin had been healed of tubercular trouble by this means. This made me eager to try it, so in August, 1906, when every earthly hope was about gone, I called for help in Christian Science, and in a few days was out of pain. In three weeks I took a long trip to make a visit, and in less than three months I felt that I had been made over; I was strong and perfectly well. Science my healing I have done without medicine. In many instances I have helped others to gain the understanding of this truth. I do all my housework and much of the sewing, and have no fear of overworking, as of old, for I know that my wonderful strength is from God. I was always a Bible student, and a believer in spiritual conversion, and I think that all the churches have yet to learn to accept Christ's whole command—to heal as well as to preach.—Angie G.
