[Original testimony in German]
Out of sincere gratitude for various healings in Christian Science...
Out of sincere gratitude for various healings in Christian Science I give this testimony. A few years ago, after we had been interested in this Science for just a short time, our five-year-old daughter was taken with inflammation of the middle ear. The child suffered from terrible, pain, had a very high fever, and cried the whole day.
After the doctor had gone I telephoned to a practitioner and asked for help. This was immediately given me in a very loving manner. I could see its effect immediately, for the child soon became more quiet, her crying stopped, and she went to sleep. I knew that our child was healed in that moment. The next morning I had her get up and I went with her to the doctor to have her pronounced well. The doctor looked at me quite incredulously, told me that I was very foolish, and that she refused all responsibility. Thereupon she examined the child and merely said: "Well, where are the red spots and the inflammation in the ear? And her pulse is perfectly quiet and normal. This puzzles me!" It was no puzzle to us, for we knew quite well that our child had been healed through the declaration and application of the truth, as Christian Science presents it.
About four years ago we again had a wonderful healing. Our daughter was taken with a very severe case of inflammation of the lungs; she also had a high fever. It was the second time that she had had this illness. The first time, unfortunately, we did not know of Science. At that time the sickness lasted for more than six weeks before the child was wholly recovered. When the sickness appeared the second time, immediately after the diagnosis of the doctor I called up the kind practitioner, who began at once to work for us. That evening the fever dropped, the child asked for something to eat, and wanted most of all to get up and play. For this healing I thank God from the bottom of my heart. I could continue to recount blessings, healings, and wonderful instances of guidance, and can only wish that many people will find the way to Christian Science. I am grateful with all my heart to God, to Mrs. Eddy, and to our tireless practitioner and helper.
