With sincere gratitude to God I give my testimony of the healing power of Christian Science.

Over twelve years ago I was receiving medical treatment from a doctor, who told me that I should have an operation and that he could not give me any anesthetic. As my fear was great, I could not submit to his advice. He said that since that was all he could do for me, I had better try Christian Science. It was then I met a Christian Scientist, who helped me to secure all the authorized books and literature and showed me how to study the Lesson-Sermons each day. The operation was never necessary.

Several years ago, when I was suddenly taken ill with a nervous breakdown accompanied by hemorrhage, I was again healed through Christian Science treatments only. After I had been ill three days, during which my condition grew steadily worse, a practitioner was called. She began treating me at once. At the end of three weeks I was weak from loss of blood, and thought I was passing on. The practitioner was again called. When she came in she assured me that God was my Life, and told me to get out of bed. As I had been unable to sit up or eat all day and had not walked since I was first taken ill, I thought her request impossible. But much to my surprise, I found myself sitting on the edge of the bed with my feet on the floor. The practitioner, when she left, told me to sit on the porch, which I did that evening. I continued to do so each day and evening until I was strong enough to be around.
