Inspired by the anticipation that my experience might be of benefit to others, I give this testimony, with reverence to God and gratitude for Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and for Mary Baker Eddy, without whose immortal discovery, Christian Science, I should not have been what I am now.

Over eleven years ago I was taken as a patient to one of Manila's hospitals. Following a thorough diagnosis and clinical test, I was told that I was suffering from a malignant growth in my throat. I became very fearful and was not able to stand, walk, or to do all the things I would normally do. Since there was no help, I became reluctant to take anything material that the doctors prescribed. The case was pronounced incurable.

Late one evening when everyone else in the ward was asleep, I knelt in silent prayer to God, pleading for His mercy and kindness—that I might be led out of the horrible pit in which I found myself, for the sake of my two innocent children. The elder child was then four, and the younger one three. On the following day I was visited by one of my first cousins, who asked me if I would submit to Christian Science treatment. He had heard that Christian Science had healed many sick folk in our locality. In a flash I felt as though someone held me by the arm and lifted my thoughts. I was able to get up and bade my cousin take me, with my wife, to the place where a group of Christian Scientists had begun to hold services.
