I wish to testify to a wonderful healing experienced several years ago through Christian Science. In 1896 I had a serious operation, which was performed by three physicians, after which they neglected to remove the silver wire with which the wounds were sewed. I went to one of the physicians repeatedly, requesting an examination and the removal of the wire. However, he did not comply with my request, but insisted that I had nervous pains, resulting from the operation. Several years later I consulted another physician, who examined me and declared that the wire was there. I sent for a specialist, who removed a piece of it, but after its removal I continued to suffer for about four or five years, unable to be up, to eat anything, or to do any work.

In this way the years passed by until a young woman came to my home who, seeing my suffering, inquired whether I had any faith in Christian Science. She brought me some books, and as I was unable to read, she read to me. Then I asked a practitioner to treat me, after which I felt as though I had been born anew. Some time later I suffered a relapse. The help of a practitioner was again sought, with the result that I was freed from all suffering. I now do all my own housework, and am as healthy and active as though I had never been ill and suffered so severely for eighteen years. I owe my freedom entirely to Christian Science and I am grateful to God and to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, whose unselfishness and love for humanity enabled her again to reveal to the world the healing truth as taught and demonstrated by Jesus.—(Mrs.)Wilhelmine Roden, Lübeck, Germany.
