With heartfelt gratitude to God I desire to give testimony to the great blessings which I have received through Christian Science, hoping that it may result in healing to others. In the spring of 1916 I had a severe attack of diphtheria, after which I became lame and was obliged to remain in bed for six months. I had children and a household to care for, and my husband was at the front; consequently, I seemed alone, sick and helpless.

My throat was paralyzed, I had no strength to swallow, taking only a liquid through a straw, and it was believed that I would starve. Up to that time I had been under medical treatment, but all material remedies were in vain. But "man's extremity is God's opportunity." At this time my sister, who had been a Christian Scientist for years, visited me and told me of Christian Science. Through divine guidance conditions were to change. With complete confidence I turned to Christian Science and asked a practitioner for absent treatment. After the first treatment I was able to take some nourishment. Soon afterwards I could move my limbs, and after some weeks walk about the room. Thus through the power of God I improved daily and in a short time was completely healed. Four years have passed since my healing, and never before in my life have I felt so well. I have learned that God is Love, that only good comes from Him, that we are subject to no other power but His, and no matter how great the human misery may seem to be, divine Love as Physician and Comforter is greater, more powerful.

With sincere gratitude I think of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has again showed us the way to light and Truth and taught us the divine ever presence in such a clear way that it has become practically demonstrable.
