For some time it has been my sincere desire to testify...

For some time it has been my sincere desire to testify to the healing power of Truth and what it has done for me. From childhood, constipation and bilious headaches were my constant companions. In 1924 a dear sister asked me why I did not try Christian Science, as she had been helped by the healing power of Truth. But I thought I was not good enough to ask God to heal me, for at the time I did not attend church or make a profession of religion. She kindly explained to me that God would heal me as I was, "for there is no respect of persons with God," as Paul testifies in Romans.

When I was next troubled with the above-named complaints, I asked my sister to treat me. I was healed in one treatment, and there has been no return of the difficulty since. Through the help of a dear practitioner I was healed of a chronic throat trouble and of fear and worry for my children and others. I have learned to know that God cares for all His children. I have been helped over many financial and other discords; also much erroneous thinking has been destroyed and replaced with thoughts of God, Love, and His idea, spiritual man. When I was young in the study of Christian Science, I was healed of the wearing of glasses, no thought having been given to it. They seemed to cause the same discordant condition that they were supposed to heal, so were laid aside. I did not recognize it to be a healing until different ones remarked to me what a wonderful healing I had experienced. Then my eyes were opened, and I rejoiced to know that it was indeed wonderful and true. I have never used glasses since, whereas before I could not be without them an hour.

My earnest desire is so to live and walk that I may prove my gratitude to God and to our Way-shower, Christ Jesus.
