Clarence Elmer Carlstrom

I wish to submit the following testimony as small evidence of my sincere gratitude for what Christian Science has done and is continuing to do for me and for mankind.

As I had long sought a more substantial and acceptable concept of God, it was easy to set aside any false theories about Him, since I had never been in sympathy with the doctrine of a corporeal or magnified Deity as preached by many of the orthodox clergy. Through the study of Christian Science as expounded by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the true understanding of Him has been revealed to me.

I have experienced many beautiful healings and numerous blessings through this divine truth, so I can truthfully attest to its efficacy. One was an almost instantaneous healing of an infected bunion. Another condition was a little slower in yielding, taking perhaps twelve hours. It was an internal abscess, which, according to the doctors, would prove fatal unless artificial means of draining were resorted to. I had submitted to such treatment before coming to Christian Science, but had been told the condition would recur and the same treatment would be necessary. The condition did recur, but through the help of a practitioner it was met and healed for all time. I am most grateful for this healing, as well as for many other beautiful manifestations of the power and presence of divine Love, such as the overcoming of the smoking habit of twenty-five years' standing, and the uncovering and destruction of many unlovely traits of character. For divine protection in times of persecution, for the calm and buoyant contentment experienced during all these so-called trials, I give praise to God and my most humble thanks.
