With a thankful heart I bear witness to all the blessings...

With a thankful heart I bear witness to all the blessings which I have experienced through Christian Science since 1914.

In my youth I often suffered with rheumatism, and spent many sleepless hours. In later years the malady became aggravated and various remedies were tried for it, but all to no purpose. Then we heard of a wonderful healing: my wife had a friend who was healed of spinal trouble by Christian Science. Since she lived at a distance we wrote asking her how she was healed, and she sent us a copy of the German edition of the Herald, with the message that God heals every ill. I read this Herald, but had little comprehension of it. However, I soon felt that Christian Science contained the truth; so I bought the textbook by Mrs. Eddy, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and went to a practitioner to ask for help, which was lovingly given me. The practitioner explained to me that once the truth was established all else would be wiped away. The fear of sleeplessness which I had had disappeared completely and the suffering abated, although it was now and again noticeable.

After ten weeks it was clear to me that I might proceed without help; that I myself must do more work, as Christian Science teaches; I must cling to God and deny the testimony of mortal sense. The healing was slow, but whenever things were not as they should be I just held fast to the truth which our Leader has revealed, that in reality all is well.
