With a heart filled to overflowing with thankfulness to God and gratitude to Mrs. Eddy I give my testimony, in the hope that divine Love will carry it to some one and thus help him out of bondage. My physical ailments disappeared shortly after I went to a Christian Science practitioner for treatment, and along with them went the habits of smoking, liquor drinking, and profanity.

When the study of Christian Science was taken up, I was working under an assumed name. From boyhood until the time divine Love healed me, my life was steeped in sin. On account of this, and because of the rigid rules of a certain corporation governing its applications, I changed my name in the endeavor to secure a position, and it was while working under this alias that Christian Science came to me, but I scoffed at the thought of its healing me.

Just three weeks prior to my advent into this wonderful truth I had returned from Fort McDowell in San Francisco Bay, where I was examined by Government physicians for enlistment in the United States Army Signal Corps, but was rejected, as the doctors claimed I had heart trouble. Three years ago I was examined by three different physicians of Fostoria, Ohio, and by the state board of health at Columbus, Ohio, and they pronounced me a consumptive. A local doctor advised me to leave for a different climate, intimating that I would not last long if I remained in Ohio. I immediately went to Texas, but along with me I took sin, and the climate did me no good.
