I can never find words to express my thoughts and thankfulness for what Christian Science has done for me. Over three years ago I was considered doomed. I was walking with two canes, and was so weak that I could not carry the weight of an overcoat; and I weighed only one hundred and eighteen pounds. Today I weigh over one hundred and sixty pounds and work along with young men at my occupation as coal miner. I was given up by three medical doctors, who told me that I had cancer of the stomach. I lived on raw eggs alone for five or six months; then I grew so sick and weak that I prayed when I went to sleep that I might never wake up. When the end seemed almost in sight I came in contact with a Christian Scientist, who told me he had been healed of Bright's disease seventeen years before. At first I took no stock in his talk; but as time wore on and I grew steadily worse I concluded I could lose nothing by trying this Science. I procured a copy of Science and Health and began to study it in search of the blessed truth which our dear Master preached and practiced on the shores of Galilee. Gradually my thoughts were turned from sin and sickness and from fear of my body; slowly but surely I found myself getting better; old things were fading out of my thought, and as I began to understand Love and Truth I found myself getting well. Science and Health and the Bible are my daily companions.

Although brought up in so-called orthodoxy, I belonged to no church and was a hardened sinner. Today I thank God that I stand in my neighborhood as a living proof of the healing power of Christian Science. People here know what I was before I took it up and they know what I am now. From a human wreck I have been physically and spiritually regenerated.
