A Testimony from Scotland

C. F. R.

It is with a very deep feeling of gratitude and love to God, and our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I make this attempt to express what Christian Science has done for me. To ex-express it fully is well-nigh impossible, so manifold are the blessings that have flowed to me since first this great Truth began to shine into my consciousness.

In the year 1895 I first heard of Christian Science, and became interested. A copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" was loaned to me and I began reading. Before the end of two months I found that by reading. I had caught a glimpse of the Truth contained in that wonderful book, and had been healed of insomnia of five years' standing.

It is difficult now to remember the number and variety of physical ills which constantly afflicted me, but I remember that every sort of medicine found its way into my home, and that doctor's and chemist's bills were important items in the family expenditure. Since that time, five years ago, these have been conspicuous by their absence. We have had, amongst the little circle interested here, many beautiful demonstrations, proving to us that the protecting power of Truth is with all those who are truly recognizing the omnipresence and supremacy of Spirit.

Among the cases which have yielded to Truth, I may mention, blood-poisoning, anemia, toothaches (in one instance, the extraction of a "live nerve" of a tooth without pain), burns, severe chronic nervous and bilious headaches, neuralgia, feverish colds, influenza, inflammation of the eyes, epilepsy, chronic rheumatism, sciatica, and rheumatic gout. Short sight has also been restored and the eyeglasses laid completely aside. But it is in the more radical healing from sin, — in the destruction of selfishness, and of all that claims to make man unlovely and unlike his perfect origin, — that the great work of Christian Science really lies, where the grand hope of its work for the race is to be found. For, in showing man how to free himself from sin and its consequent sickness by revealing to man his perfect unity with his divine Principle, God, Christian Science flings open the gates towards the realization of that condition which our Lord said was to be found within us, here and now, — the Kingdom of Heaven.
