Charlotte F. Chittenden

Christian Science has been my only physician for many years. I turned to it in my extremity, when medical science had failed me, after the birth of my second child. I could not gain my health and strength, and finally a serious nervous condition developed. We were living in a small town in Kansas, and my mother at the time was in California under Christian Science treatment. She was beautifully healed, and the thought came to me, Why could not I also be healed? I wrote to her and asked to have work done. The practitioner began to work right away, and after one month's absent treatment I was healed. This transformed my whole life and made me a well, strong woman, although I had never before been strong.

I wish also to express gratitude for a complete healing of a very bad fracture just below the hip. A practitioner was called immediately, and I did not have any pain or ill effects from the break. The surgeon, who set it without an anesthetic, was amazed when he saw that I was quiet, undisturbed, and without pain. The healing was slow, but complete and perfect. For this experience I am most grateful; it brought God very close. Many beautiful truths became my own. The words from II Samuel, "God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect," were before me. Their truth was proved, for my way was made perfect, and the allness of God, good, was demonstrated. I have a deep sense of gratitude for the faithful practitioner and for the many friends who were so kind.

I should also like to express gratitude for an instantaneous healing of oak poisoning, on one side of the face and over one eye. I tried to work for myself, but the condition became painful and irritated, so I asked for help. The result was an instantaneous healing.
