It is with gratitude beyond words that I send this testimony

Frances W. Amos

It is with gratitude beyond words that I send this testimony. For many years I suffered. I had different doctors and took all kinds of medicine which friends advised, but with no benefit. One doctor said I should not live if I did not have a major operation. But "man's extremity is God's opportunity." I was advised to try Christian Science. I went to a practitioner's office with no faith, but I had decided something must be done or I could not live. I experienced great relief, and this proved to me the power of God to heal, as I had a complication of diseases. I was not instantaneously healed of all of them; but one by one the different forms of error disappeared.

This was in 1920. Since that time I have never resorted to medicine or to any material aid for any form of sickness or accident, as all difficulties have been overcome either by the reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, or by the assistance of a loving practitioner. A sprained ankle was healed in two days; fever, colds, headache, dizziness, inflammation of the bladder, constipation in severe form, have all been healed. At one time an attack of influenza was destroyed in two hours; a false appetite disappeared after I had read just a little of the textbook.

About five years ago I stuck the point of the shears in a vein of my left hand, which bled profusely. I wrapped the hand in a large towel and tried to know the unreality of an accident, but fear entered my consciousness, and I decided to call for help. While I was talking to the practitioner over the telephone, fear was overcome. I hung up the receiver, and by the time I got to another room not one more drop of blood came. I removed the cloth, bathed the hand, and went on with my work. The hand began to swell and the fingers to turn dark, so I again called the practitioner. This was about two o'clock in the afternoon; at five the same day I drove my car to the city and back, and by morning my hand was normal, and I have neverr had any more trouble with it, showing that, as we read in Hebrews, "the word of God is quick, and powerful."
