It is with a heart full of love and thankfulness to God, and of gratitude to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, that I send this testimony. I had stomach trouble for fifteen years. I tried the best physicians I knew of, only to find myself growing worse daily. I went to San Antonio, Texas, thinking perhaps the climate would do me some good, but I was no better; then I went to a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. She told me to eat anything I wanted and it would not hurt me. I did not take any more medicine, but I kept it in my room for a few days, until I found that God was what I needed and not material remedies; then I threw all the medicine away and read Science and Health. I was not healed instantly; it was about six weeks before I was entirely well. It has been more than three years since then, and there has been no return of the trouble. I am permanently healed, and for this healing, and the spiritual uplift, I am very grateful.

I would like to mention the great joy I experienced in the healing of my son of a malignant growth in the nose. I received a long-distance telephone message from Dallas, asking me to come to him, so I went. I told him I had nothing to offer but Christian Science. He came home with me and I called in a practitioner. In four weeks he was healed, and is now perfectly well.

I have not words to express the gratitude I feel for the many blessings that have come to me and my family through Christian Science. I am thankful to God for giving us this understanding of Truth through Mrs. Eddy, our beloved Leader.—Mrs. L. J. Caldwell, Fort Worth, Texas.
