With deepest gratitude and in honor to God, and as a blessing and encouragement to my fellow-men, I wish to give the following testimony. We have been adherents of Christian Science for many years, and have experienced the blessings of Truth in various ways. But as I was doubtful now and again, until the time of my own healing, I often asked God to give me proofs that this teaching is the truth.

The last of January I began to suffer from indigestion and vomiting, and was able to eat only so-called light foods. This condition lasted several months. One day, after a severe attack of vomiting, my hands became quite stiff and deformed. I requested my husband to telephone at once to a Christian Science practitioner. When she came at noon my whole body seemed to be slowly stiffening; but as the result of her realization of God's omnipotence and omnipresence the numbness slowly yielded, just as it had appeared. This experience aroused in me a certain amount of fear, and in spite of the practitioner's comforting words I could not fully realize that what God heals is thoroughly healed, and I need not fear a return. As the sense of fear did not seem to yield, in spite of the declaration of Truth, the practitioner visited me again on the following afternoon. In her presence I went peacefully to sleep.

My awakening the following morning cannot be described in words; for I was permitted to experience God's presence, and I was filled with a peace which the world cannot give. Error tried to suggest to me that I must take care of myself by remaining in bed, but the practitioner enlightened me on this subject, too. With the words, "God is my strength," I arose and, to the great joy of my relatives, appeared at the breakfast table; and afterwards I took part without any effort whatever in the household duties. Although I had been able to take only liquid nourishment during the week, at noon I ate among other things a roll, with great appetite. Since then I have been able to eat everything without discomfort.
