I have every reason to be grateful for Christian Science

Edgar F. Keatinge

I have every reason to be grateful for Christian Science Over four years ago my wife was in ill health and very unhappy. Her mother had died of a so-called incurable disease when comparatively a young woman; and as my wife approached the age at which her mother died she was haunted by the fear the she was similarly afflicted. She suffered great pain and, at times, was very depressed. One day she went into a Christian Science Reading Room and looked over a copy of The Christian Science Journal, wherein she discovered the name and address of a near-by practitioner, whom, eventually, she visited. Thanks to the loving counsel and clear spiritual vision of this practitioner, in two weeks the fear completely vanished, and with it every symptom of pain and depression. My wife has been well and happy ever since.

A little later our son was training for his school sports; and one morning, two days before the sports, he showed me a lump about the size of a hen's egg just above the left groin. He told me that it had gradually been getting larger and more painful for three weeks past, and that now he could not walk without intense pain. My wife took him to the same practitioner, and the next morning the lump was gone; and on the following day he not only did well, but won the championship of his school. I was greatly interested in these two healings, but was not yet convinced.

Soon after this I contracted a septic throat and was operated on by my doctor, who opened five abscesses at one sitting. I was brought home a nervous wreck. The beloved practitioner visited my wife that evening, and as a result of our joint deliberations (I could only whisper) I promised to give up all material remedies if she would help me. This she said she would do, and the next morning, to my intense surprise, I was able to get up, eat my breakfast, and go into the city and attend to my business. On my return home that evening I ran upstairs and asked my wife to examine my throat with an electric torch. This she did, and said there was absolutely no scar to be seen. This marked my capitulation to Truth. I was convinced that Christian Science could heal, and I was now determined to find out what had caused these three healings.
