Harry Rohm

I feel that I can never express in words my deep love for God, or the gratitude that is in my heart for the many blessings I have received since being in prison. I can truthfully say that my life here has been a profitable one. The teachings of Christian Science have brought me such an abundance of good that I fail to find words to express my thankfulness to God for leading me to this healing truth. I am filled with gratitude as I realize that it has changed me to a healthy and happy man, every belief of despondency and discouragement having vanished, as well as a constant temptation to suicide.

In April, 1913, two ladies came to the county jail and talked to the inmates about Christian Science. I was then in very bad health, and had been for years. I had been a great sufferer from rheumatism in its worst form, at times unable to attend to my work, but I became interested in Christian Science and a close reader of Science and Health and the different periodicals. Soon I found a surprising improvement in my condition. The rheumatism, and many other ailments connected with it, left me entirely. I had been confined in the county jail for one year before these ladies came to visit it, and I was greatly reduced in flesh. Christian Science has taught me that to think of God, good, is health, and through the assistance of the noble Christian ladies who helped me I have gained a clearer understanding of Truth and Love, and my general health is now excellent. I have come to have the greatest faith in the love of God and the word of Truth.

Though in prison, since I have been closely following the teachings of Christian Science my life has grown to be one of happiness and peace. I know that if a sick person can be instructed by Christian Science to recognize the validity of God's law above every supposed law of matter, this recognition will prove to be a refuge to those oppressed, disease will be checked, and a speedy recovery is assured.

I cherish a deep sense of love and appreciation for our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who pointed out to us this wonderful way, and I can truthfully say that Christian Science is the greatest blessing that has ever come into my life. It has taught me that when we put into practice good thoughts, good actions become easy, and then we begin to take pleasure in them. My greatest desire is to help others to lay hold upon this truth, and I send this testimony with the hope that it will be of some benefit to those who read it.
