In humble gratitude I can say...

Gertrude Woodson Rea

In humble gratitude I can say with Job (19:25), "I know that my redeemer liveth." As a girl in my late teens, I lived but a few blocks from the University of California where I should have been going to college. Instead, my time was spent in search of health. Neither the many different kinds of medical treatment which I tried nor a change of climate gave me any permanent relief from stomach and bowel trouble, general weakness, and other complications.

Later, after I was married, a maid working in my home told me of her wonderful healing of a tumor through Christian Science treatment. She let me have her copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy for a few days until I purchased one. She stated she could not part with it for long. When I read the book I knew I had found the truth, the pearl of great price.

Over the years my healings have been many. The earlier ailments were healed, and attacks of sick headaches, which at times incapacitated me, ceased. In later years I was healed of a severe case of smallpox, without there being even a mark left to tell the tale. I asked a Christian Science practitioner to help me, and while talking to her, I felt as though a heavy robe had rolled from my shoulders, and the healing followed.
