That Christian Science can heal,...

Alex T. Carlberg

That Christian Science can heal, I have had full proof. Many years ago I was suffering from indigestion, catarrh, ulcers of the stomach, and bowel trouble. While waiting in a bus station one day I decided to read some Christian Science literature which was in a distribution box on the wall. This literature appealed to me so much that I went in search of a friend who I knew was studying Science. He took me to his branch church, and afterwards I went to a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. As a result I was completely healed, and the healing has been permanent.

I am now a member of The Mother Church and a branch church. Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 138): "Our Master said to every follower: 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature! . . . Heal the sick! . . . Love thy neighbor as thyself!' It was this theology of Jesus which healed the sick and the sinning."

After my health was restored to me through Christian Science, I wanted my niece to try its healing efficacy. She had arthritis and could get around only with the help of someone. The doctors said that the condition was incurable. I offered to pay for the help of a Christian Science practitioner if my niece would consent to having treatment. She consented to this, and she too was completely healed. She is now teaching in the Christian Science Sunday School.
