I feel it my duty to send in a testimony relating my wonderful healing through Christian Science. One morning I awakened feeling a very severe pain in my back, and was unable to move for half an hour. Although I soon felt better, I remained home from work for a few days, thinking that I would thus become quite well again; my condition became worse, however, and I commenced coughing. My husband and I went to a physician, who treated me for over two weeks. I had very high fever, continued to become weaker, and suffered incessantly from a pain in my right side. The physician had forbidden me to eat and told me to drink only milk. We then consulted another physician, who examined me and stated that I had quick consumption and must go to a hospital; also that I required plenty of fresh air.

I had known of Christian Science for four years, having worked in a Christian Science family, and was interested in reading Science and Health, which had benefited me greatly. I had married and moved to another state when stricken with this disease and did not know how to reach a practitioner. Before going to the hospital I wrote to the Christian Science family mentioned, telling them that I was very ill and begging them to help me or to turn my case over to a practitioner, which latter they did. I felt better from the first hour the work was commenced for me, and after two weeks the treatment was taken up by a practitioner in my home town. In three weeks I left the hospital feeling cheerful and experiencing no pain, and I was also healed of many other ills. After six weeks of Christian Science treatment I was healthy and strong and dismissed the practitioner. I am becoming more and more interested in reading the Christian Science literature.

Next to God my gratitude is due to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to the practitioners who have helped me. This teaching has lifted me out of the dark abyss of error in its manifold forms, to the eternal light of Truth. Instead of living in the combined joys and sufferings of materiality I now daily and hourly experience the divine joys of Spirit, partake of its infinite love and goodness, through which alone we can attain strength, health, happiness, and peace. My husband and I thank God, the omnipotent Father, for health and all the good which we have received through Christian Science.—(Mrs.) Christine Schuster Bachner, Watertown, New York.
