I am very grateful for what Christian Science has done...

J. A. Wellauer

I am very grateful for what Christian Science has done for me. For about twenty years I was an invalid, suffering from nearly all the ills to which flesh is heir. Many doctors in this country and in Europe were tried, as well as every remedy known to medical science. After being in bed three months, constantly suffering the most excruciating pain, I went back to the hospital for the thirteenth operation. The doctor had told my husband it would be just another experiment, but I felt that even temporary relief would be a blessing. Four operations had been for chronic bladder trouble, but were rendered more dangerous on account of heart failure, which had caused me to have fainting spells almost daily for over twenty-five years. The doctors pronounced my disease incurable, but it was proved in my case, as it has been in others, that "man's extremity is God's opportunity."

On the night before the thirteenth operation was to be performed, my son advised me to come home and try Christian Science. Although I had read Science and Health without getting any understanding of it, and had no faith in it, I consented to do as he wished. We asked for help, and I was healed of the heart trouble in one treatment. The chronic disease which the doctors had all pronounced incurable, was entirely overcome in two weeks. I had taken so many drugs and had suffered so much that I was a complete nervous wreck, and my husband had been advised by a specialist to put me in a sanitarium.

Thanks be to God that through Christian Science I am well and strong now, able to do all my work and go everywhere. The greatest blessing Christian Science has given me is the spiritual uplift and the understanding of the Bible. The benefits this healing truth has brought into our home and into our lives are countless.

Mrs. J. A. Wellauer, Memphis, Tenn.

My interest in Christian Science was aroused through seeing the results of the first treatment my wife received, and I wish to say that every statement she has made is absolutely correct. For eighteen years I went to my work every morning with the thought that I might be called home any time to find her unconscious, or maybe dead. I am deeply grateful for her healing, also for the inestimable benefit I have myself received from Christian Science. I have been fully and completely healed of chronic bowel disorder, also of a trouble which a surgical operation had only temporarily relieved. The tobacco habit of thirty-five years' standing has been overcome, and Christian Science has changed my mental attitude, so that today I am a different man. I am loved now, whereas before I came into Science I was universally disliked by those who work under me.

For the many blessings I have received through Christian Science I am thankful to God, as well as grateful to Mrs. Eddy and to all who were in any way instrumental in bringing about our changed mental and physical condition, including such friends as tried to bring us into Christian Science many years ago.—J. A. Wellauer.
