For a long time I have felt that it was my duty to give my testimony regarding the many benefits which I have received through Christian Science. For at least thirty years I was troubled with a bowel difficulty for which I had tried about everything that any one would suggest, but I received no benefit from any material source.

As a last resort I turned to Christian Science and took several treatments, but thinking I was not getting along as well as I ought, I told the practitioner that the physical results were not very satisfactory. She said it was not for me to judge, but that I should leave it entirely with God; that God would care for me, if I trusted Him implicitly. While on the car, as I was returning home, I thought over my case and saw plainly wherein I had made a grave mistake. I had been watching my bodily condition closely and critically, but I now began to see the truth, and knew that the truth would cure me. It was sixteen weeks, however, before I realized the healing, and it was not the physical healing which seemed so wonderful to me as the perfect manner in which I was cared for. During all that time I had no fever, no headache, and no bloating, but was perfectly normal in every respect. I ate the same amount of food, and did as I had always done, except that I used no material remedy of any kind.

I also had catarrh for over thirty years, and this left me at this time, as well as other ailments. I am very thankful to God for my healing, and also grateful to Mrs. Eddy for showing us how and where to look for the truth and to know that God is an ever-present help.
