John E. Howe

I am offering my experience and healing in Christian Science with the hope and assurance that some others who are seeking the truth may also be healed and blessed as I have been. My wife had never been a very healthy woman, and in later years had been failing rapidly, until she was almost an invalid. She could not walk more than two or three blocks without giving out. She had reached the point where medical aid and drugs were of no avail. Acting upon the advice of a neighbor who was a Christian Scientist, she went to a Christian Science practitioner; and it is with much rejoicing that I acknowledge her complete healing. From a frail and wasted woman of some ninety pounds, she now weighs about one hundred and forty, and has been a very healthy and useful woman during the years that have followed that healing.

Through all of this experience I received my blessing also. For years prior to my wife's taking up Christian Science I had been sinking deeper into degradation, and the desire for strong drink had so fastened itself upon me that there seemed no remedy. I was very selfish toward my family, spending money lavishly over the bar for drink for my friends and myself, but always loath to provide my wife with sufficient money properly to clother herself and the children. When she first suggested taking Science treatment I agreed, but after about a week's treatment, at which time she appeared to be growing worse rather than improving, I began to remonstrate, and finally demanded that she discontinue the treatment; but she refused to do so.
