It is with a great sense of gratitude that I testify to the benefits received from Christian Science. Two years ago it was presented to me by my sister and a friend. At that time I was looking for a situation. Several positions were offered me, but all in a foreign country. I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and worked on my problem according to my understanding. The place that I am now filling was finally offered me. Some time after, I was suffering from stomach trouble and was healed with help from a dear practitioner. At another time I had help for violent hysterics, and as a result of a single loving treatment this error disappeared.

These beautiful demonstrations gave me such an impetus that I worked ardently in Christian Science, thinking to arrive soon at the summit and acquire all. But at the end of a few months I saw that it meant progressive work, and that I needed help and wisdom to progress normally, regularly, and patiently. I then sought a practitioner, who was willing to clear up for me what seemed obscure. It is, therefore, due to this understanding that I was healed of attacks of nephritis and painful stomach symptoms, like those experienced three years before, when a tumor had formed. In spite of everything, fear seized me when I saw this dreadful disease reappear. Through the help of a dear practitioner the disease was overcome, and at the end of a week I felt only gratitude and joy. However, one organ was not completely healed; but Mrs. Eddy tells us, "Mind is the source of all movement" (Science and Health, p. 283), and the realization of this truth did the work and all was again harmonious.

One day my sister notified me that my small nephew had measles. I did my mental work, denying error and affirming good; and the next evening the doctor allowed the child to get up. The child was healed. Twelve days afterwards the baby, two years old, was also attacked, but a little more severely, with measles. The mother was afraid, so that it was only after three days that the child was completely healed. The mother was astonished at the good appetite of the two children.
