In gratitude for the many blessings received in Christian Science I send this testimony, with the hope that others may experience joy, peace, and love such as have come to me.

I learned of Christian Science when in great need. Suffering from hemorrhage for over five weeks, I was left so weak that I could hardly walk, stand, or even sit. After submitting to a careful medical examination I felt myself sinking fast, for the physician offered little hope. How to break the news to my dear wife troubled me greatly. I was asked if I would give Christian Science a trial, and agreed. A friend, not a Christian Scientist, offered to make the first inquiry for me.

A practitioner came to see me that evening. He smiled, as much as to say, There is nothing to be afraid of; all is well. I tried to be as pleasant as I could, but I had not let the nature of the ailment be known, and my fear was great. While the practitioner talked to me about passages in the Bible and in Science and Health by our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I felt much cheered, thinking I had never heard such kind words about God and Christ Jesus, our Wayshower. I went to bed and slept well all night. The next morning he gave me a Christian Science treatment, and during it I felt a change for the better. In the afternoon he gave me another treatment, after which I felt like going back to my work. In less than a week I was completely healed. Hemorrhage, catarrh of long standing, and a desire to smoke, left me and have never returned. This occurred more than seventeen years ago.
