Love and gratitude for Christian Science impel me to testify of the many blessings which I have received through it. Six years ago various troubles developed. I was afflicted with epileptic nervous convulsions, and the physicians tried various remedies, but all in vain. At last I went to a famous nerve specialist, who robbed me of all hope, for he stated that there was no remedy for convulsions. Then I had another severe blow, for erysipelas appeared on both legs. This vanished within three weeks, but my legs never healed, and day and night I had to wear bandages which were put on by a physician. A specialist told me it was salt rheum. Finally, he advised me to have the legs amputated, as no remedies would help me.
I was often nearly desperate, and life was a burden to me; but "man's extremity is God's opportunity." My attention was called to Christian Science by an acquaintance, and I clung to this proffered help. I attended the Christian Science services and testimony meetings, which made a deep impression upon me. There I always found comfort, and returned home filled with hope. I saw that the old, lovely Christ-teaching was the way of Truth. In my great need I turned to a Christian Science practitioner, who soon lovingly helped me. In a few months, God brought about completely that which physicians had been unable to do in six years.
Through the diligent study of the Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the wonderful revelation of the truth came to me. My gratitude to God for the help which I and mine have received through Christian Science is inexpressibly great; and I lack words to voice my gratitude to our great Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who showed us the way to divine Truth. I also wish to express my heartful gratitude to all who helped me to find the way to Truth and Love.
