I wish publicly to express my gratitude for my healing...

Myrtle Rohrer

I wish publicly to express my gratitude for my healing through Christian Science. In July, 1905, I was practically helpless, as a result of severe nervous trouble, which doctors and medicines had failed to relieve, even temporarily. For months I had no desire to eat, and I was afraid to sleep on account of weak heart action, which caused me to have spells wherein I would lose control of my body and lie perfectly helpless. Life for me seemed a miserable apology for existence, as I could not read, sew, or do anything but sit in my chair from morning until night, and with no hope of ever being well.

At this time a brother urged me to have Christian Science treatment, and I gave my consent, but had no idea of the nature of such treatment. I however felt the effect of my first treatment, and this gave me such hope that I immediately disposed of all material remedies, of which I had an abundant supply, and felt sure that if anything could help me Christian Science would. My healing was slow, but for this I am now truly grateful, as it compelled me to continue in the study of our text-book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and also to learn the much-needed lesson of patience. Since my healing I have had the best of health, and have proved many times that God is my strength, and that I can always do whatever is necessary for me to do. Since my first treatment in Christian Science the truth has been my only remedy for all inharmony of mind or body. In passing through deep waters, of sorrow and loneliness, divine Truth has been my comforter, and I have always looked forward with eagerness to the Sunday and mid-week services, which have been such a help to me; the Sentinel has also been a messenger of hope and cheer.

I am indeed grateful for the many blessings coming to me daily through the teachings of Christian Science. Words fail to express the love and gratitude which I feel for the pure and noble life of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and my sincere desire is to be ever found faithful to the cause of Christian Science.
