With deep gratitude for all that...

Emma-Berta Sommer

With deep gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me, I should like to relate how I was led to it, in a heartfelt desire to point out the way of salvation to anyone in a similar situation.

When I was six years old I had various children's diseases. Later, from time to time, I ran a very high fever, for which the doctor found no cause. The attacks increased and I became gravely ill. The medical diagnosis was tuberculosis in the last stages. For four months I was in "the valley of the shadow of death."

The time finally came when I had to decide to trust myself wholly to God, Spirit, and His laws. All material aids had been exhausted, and the physician who was then caring for me said he had done everything which could be done. One hip was drawn out of its normal position. The leg had within a year become shorter by some centimeters. The joints had become ossified and quite stiff. These were but part of all the sufferings declared incurable. Times without number I prayed to God: "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." Christian Science had often been mentioned to me, but I rejected it, for my pastor had warned us against this doctrine.
