I should like to express my deep gratitude to God for the blessings I have received through Christian Science. In 1916, while doing military service on the frontiers, I contracted a so-called incurable disease and had to undergo treatment in the hospital. However, the trouble kept reappearing, and each time I had to follow medical advice. At the beginning of 1919 it manifested itself again, but in a much more alarming way. I resolved to turn away from material medica, and to try Christian Science, which was not entirely new to me, for my parents are Scientists and often spoke of this wonderful truth, but up to that time I had felt no interest in it.

I called on a Scientist who gladly guided my first steps in this teaching. After reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for two weeks, I saw my condition improve, and had also lost all desire for liquor and tobacco. Three weeks later I was completely healed. On two occasions attacks of grip were overcome in two days.

The most striking demonstration I have had, however, is the one following an accident to my right eye. The eye having been hit, I immediately tried to realize the truth, but did not do so clearly enough, as about ten days later the eye began to be painful. I immediately did further work as taught in Christian Science, but as the condition grew worse and fear increased, I decided to ask a practitioner for help. She began treatment at once and in a short time I was much relieved. I still could not see with that eye, but with constant and faithful work I overcame the fear and at the same time recovered my sight.
