Deep thankfulness to God for my son's and my own wonderful healing through Christian Science causes me to praise God. Thanks to the beneficial teachings of our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I have gained an understanding of God as ever present, divine power and Love. Since childhood I had suffered from fear, and since my twelfth year was frequently troubled with nosebleed, headaches, and insomnia. This weakened me to such an extent that in my twenty-first year my nerves were in such a state that I was to be sent to a sanatorium. Even at that time God heard my mother's prayer. Upon the advice of the attending physician I remained at home and was obliged to stay in bed. When I had so far recovered that I was able again to perform household duties, I requested the physician not to come any more. After six years, useless worry, pain in the back, and hysterics drove me to the physician again, who gave me a medical prescription. For twelve years this seemed to help me. The fear, however, increased to such an extent that my entire family suffered as a result, especially my seventeen-year-old son. He had chosen the life of a seaman and through a misfortune returned home, becoming a mental and nervous wreck. For the sake of the other children and acting upon the advice of a physician, we sent him to a sanatorium. He was not given medicine either in the sanatorium or at home, requiring only rest.

At this point a kindly friend called my attention to Christian Science. I became absorbed and gained confidence in it, and requested the help of a practitioner, which was lovingly given to my son and myself. After a few treatments I felt that this only was the correct way; our son also became brighter. Thanks to the further treatments and explanations of the practitioner, our son was soon able to leave the sanatorium. Since that time he has resumed his seaman's work, in perfect health, under God's protection and guidance. Now I can see that we all grew in the happy knowledge of divine Love through these proofs. Since that time I have applied Christian Science to all my problems, whether in connection with the children, the home, the barn or the garden, and with good results. I am thankful to God and to Mrs. Eddy for the blessing of Christian Science.
