With thanks to God and gratitude to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, also to those who so lovingly brought Christian Science to me, I write this testimony. In the spring of 1917 I was a physical wreck, having suffered from bronchial asthma in an aggravated form for the greater part of a year. At the time I began treatment I was also suffering from pleurisy and pneumonia. In half an hour from the time I asked for treatment the pleurisy pain left and I was able to prepare dinner for my family, whereas up to that time I could not walk across the room. This was on a Saturday morning. After resting that night for the first time in two months, I decided on Sunday morning that I would like to go to the Christian Science services, not having attended before. I walked seventeen blocks to the church, returned and attended to my family of three small children, with no after effects, except for good. I repeated the walk in a drizzling rain the next day to purchase a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. The third day I made a journey of two hundred miles, with the children, without fatigue. Although the complete healing was slow, I was so grateful for this proof of God's care.

We were seemingly tried during the next year with every "ill that flesh is heir to" and had to overcome great fear. In that time double pneumonia and pneumonia swelling, scarlet fever, influenza, blood poisoning, and boils were beautifully overcome through the power of Truth and the loving help of a practitioner. Through all this we had only three present treatments. The birth of our last baby was a beautiful demonstration of the protection of divine Love. The child manifested only harmony, after having been pronounced abnormal in every way.
