It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God that I give this testimony telling what Christian Science has done for me. For fifteen years I had suffered from female trouble, nervousness, and a bowel disorder. With the birth of our only child, ten and a half years ago, came other troubles, and I was never well. I had treatment from several physicians, all to no avail, some of them saying that nothing but an operation would do me any good. For the past three years I suffered from my eyes and had almost constant headache. I wore glasses, but all the physicians failed to relieve me. Then came a distressing illness for which the medical fraternity has not discovered a cure. After consulting four local physicians, I applied to one of the leading specialists in the South, and all gave the same answer, "No cure, no hope." After weeks of intense suffering I came to the brink of the grave. It was then I heard through a friend of Christian Science and as a last resort and with a ray of hope I applied to a practitioner for help. Physicians said I could not live without medicine, but I felt God's guiding hand and turned a deaf ear to all they said.

I shall never forget the day when the practitioner came into my room like a great ray of sunshine. His visit was brief, but after he gave me treatment and left me, such a feeling of quiet, rest, and peace came over me as I had never known. From that moment I began to improve, and after eating a hearty supper I slept all night without once waking, something I had not done for months, and this, too, without quieting medicine. When I awoke next morning I felt like a new woman. Through the kind efforts of the practitioner I steadily improved; one by one my troubles disappeared, and I am now well and feel better than I have in years.

The healing is naturally a wonderful thing to me, but it sinks into insignificance when compared with the spiritual blessings which have come to me through Christian Science and its literature. My healing was not rapid, but I do not regret one step of the way, for I have gained a clearer understanding of God, which perhaps would not have come to me otherwise. I have no words to express my gratitude to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, but am striving to show this gratitude by my daily life.—Mrs. J. K. King, Auburn, Miss.
