In March, 1913, my feet began to swell and severe heart trouble set in, so that I suffered greatly after the slightest effort. I had been acquainted with Christian Science for about a year and a half, and realized that God alone could help me in my extremity. I treated myself to the best of my knowledge, but feeling that my understanding of the truth was still too small, I asked a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. My body was so swollen that I could hardly move, but I clung to the truth, while the practitioner helped me on and worked for me. When I saw that it was not my body but my whole thinking which was in need of healing, improvement began and continued every day. In a short time I was well and able to take care of my household.
The trouble has never manifested itself since, and I cannot be too grateful to God for this glorious proof of His help in times of great need. I am also greatly indebted to Mrs. Eddy, for without her discovery we would not know that such healing is possible nowadays. My desire is that this testimony may induce others who are in trouble to seek the help which never faileth.
Frau Marie Pfister, Heubach, Württemberg, Germany.
