I have long felt a desire to show my sincere gratitude for the many and great blessings which Christian Science has brought me. About twenty years ago I was confined to bed for over three months with a spinal fever, partial paralysis, and St. Vitus' dance. I was under the care of doctors all the time, and they said there was but little hope for me; that if I ever did get up from my bed, I would have no use of my spine, as it was so seriously affected. I had about lost all hope in material means, and felt as if God was my only help.

One day a dear friend came to visit me and asked me why I did not try Christian Science. I asked her what it was, and she related to me how she had been healed of a malignant disease through the help of Christian Science, and she said she knew I could be healed. I asked where I could find a Christian Science practitioner, and when she told me I was taken to one for treatment. In less than a week I was healed of my afflictions, one and all. I read Christian Science literature, but did not then understand it and never took any interest in it. I had been healed, and with that I was satisfied! A short time afterward I was taken with a severe stomach affection which troubled me for more than four long and weary years. I continually took treatment from different doctors, some of whom said that an operation would have to be performed before any relief could be had.

At this stage Christian Science was again brought to my notice, and I took treatment for about six or eight weeks and was healed once more. I have never taken any material remedies from that day to this, nor had any in the house. I have made Christian Science my daily study ever since, and I have been able to demonstrate the truth for myself and family for the past eight years. Over a year ago I had a severe attack of a throat and lung trouble. I called in a Christian Science practitioner, and in two weeks I was all right and was able to attend the services. Words cannot express my feelings of gratitude to God for the wonderful healing power of Christian Science. I am also thankful to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has shown us the way to health and a more spiritual life. May many others see the great light as I have seen it.
