William H. Dorchester

Several years ago I suffered from headaches and a sickness so severe that at times I became unconscious. I learned that the cause of this trouble was resentment over what I regarded as unjust conditions. Through the work of a faithful Christian Science practitioner and the dismissal of erroneous thought I was healed in two treatments.

I have been cured of asthma of many years' standing. The healing seemed slow, as fear had taken such hold of me that I was unwilling to give up the use of a material remedy even though it gave only temporary relief. Through the help of a practitioner I was able to abandon the use of drugs, and the attacks grew less until they ceased. At a Christian Science lecture I learned that my difficulty might have been caused by my failure to pass on the good I was receiving. With the aid of a nurse and a practitioner I was healed of a severe burn, which affected almost the entire upper surface of the thigh and part of the under surface near the knee.

I have learned to be grateful for these and many other blessings, but the greatest understanding of divine principle which I have gained through the teachings of Christ Jesus, and through reading Science and Health and other writings of our Leaders, Mary Baker Eddy. I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church.
