In gratitude for the many blessings which I have received through the study of Christian Science I send this testimony with the hope that it may help others. Before finding Christian Science I was most unhappy and very much in need of physical healing. I gave up all medicine and applied to a practitioner for treatment. While the physical healing has meant much to me I am more grateful for a better understanding of God, and of man's relation to Him.

One night my little son called me and when I went to his bedside I discovered that he had a very high fever, and he very soon became unconscious. I declared the truth for him, but he seemed to grow worse. The thought came to me that if he was not better by morning I would send a message to a practitioner for help. The nearest one I knew of was four hundred and fifty miles away. I just kept on declaring the truth for him and pondering such thoughts from the Scriptures as: "God is no respecter of persons," "God is love," "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear," and, "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." I could see nothing to doubt or fear, for God is All-in-all. And in a very short time child went to sleep peacefully and by morning was entirely free.
