[Original testimony in German]

Gertrud Wolk with contributions from Oliver Wendell Holmes

About seven years ago my dear father passed on with lung trouble. At this time I was a very frail child of pallid appearance. I had a cough and complained of pains in my side and of headaches, all of which my mother thought were inherited from my father; and I was always under medical treatment. My mother heard about Christian Science from a friend, who took me to a practitioner. The latter taught me that God does not make sick children but healthy ones, and that I, as God's child, had received and inherited only health. After a very few treatments my appearance improved, and the pains and cough disappeared altogether. I am now a happy and healthy child. I thank the practitioner for her love; and I am grateful to all those who showed me the way to Christian Science. I also thank our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for her discovery of Christian Science, and give God alone the glory.—(Miss) Gertrud Wolk, Podelzig b. Frankfurt a/O, Germany.

The great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port of heaven we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, or lie at anchor.—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
