It is with praise to God, our Father-Mother, and gratitude for Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and for Mrs. Eddy that I am writing this testimony. During the past twenty-five years or more I have been proving the power of prayer as taught in Christian Science.

My first healing was that of an abscessed tooth, and it was brought about through my own study of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. This book had been loaned to me, by a relative after the passing of a loved one during the year 1936. Since then I have experienced many healings, such as that of migraine which had recurred over a period of years. This healing was brought about through a conversation with a practitioner, during which I gained a clear sense of the infinite nature of God.

I had suffered from rheumatism since childhood. At the time of which I'm writing, I was employed. A friend and I decided to spend the Fourth of July holiday at the seashore. The morning we were to leave I felt a great deal of pain in one of my knees. I did the driving; and as we continued with our plans, I was knowing that God was right there with me, guiding me. My friend was not a Christian Scientist, but from time to time we sang various hymns we both were familiar with, until we reached our destination.
