“In grateful acknowledgement…”

Lillian Varrell

Originally published in the 1914 pamphlet “Christian Science: its legal status—a defense of human rights”

In grateful acknowledgment of many benefits received through Christian Science, I gladly give my testimony to the healing power of Truth.

Over twenty-seven years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science by the wonderful healing of a friend. Later, when in great need of physical help, after different methods of treatment failed, I turned to Christian Science and received the help sought.

Several years later I had a tumor form in my left breast which grew in size very rapidly. It was examined by two physicians, and both recommended its removal by a surgical operation. I entered a hospital, and after the removal of the growth I was assured I would have no further trouble. In a little more than a year I had five growths, three in one breast and two in the other, and the physician who had treated and removed the first one, again treated these, but failed as before to check the growth. He finally recommended the removal of both breasts. I had treatment from a Christian Science practitioner, however, and the growths were entirely wiped out.
