I wish to express my gratitude to Christian Science for the healing light that was brought to me over seventeen years ago.

I had never been very well since I could remember. When I was in my thirties I had two operations in one year, and a specialist said I would have to have another one for a growth. I was so discouraged that I went home and wrote to a friend who knows a little about Christian Science, told her about the growth, and asked her to pray for me.

A few months later I went to see a doctor, and he said I had an obstructed bowel and sent me right to the hospital; but I still refused to have another operation. They gave me a treatment which the doctor said he could not guarantee would cure me.

While I was there, the specialist examined me for the growth and found it was completely gone. He told my husband that he was baffled and could not understand it, but my husband and I felt that it was Christian Science that had healed me.

I was home only a couple of days when the bowel trouble recurred. I was so miserable I was ready to end it all. My husband offered to call a Christian Science practitioner for me, and I consented. I shall never forget her entrance into the room. Everything had seemed black before, but a ray of light seemed to enter with her.

I do not remember much of what she said; but I felt the presence of that light, and when she left I realized I was healed. I was hungry and went to the kitchen and prepared a big meal and ate it and felt fine.

I was healed of arthritis in my back. When I was in the hospital, they had taken X rays, and the doctor had said that the condition was in an advanced stage and that there was no cure for it. I was also healed of thyroid trouble, and I was able to throw away glasses that I had worn since I was very young. If I went without them for a couple of hours, I got a headache. But I was able to take them off without any discomfort, and I have never worn them since.

This all took place within a month after I had my first healing. Since then I have been healed of chronic colds, hay fever, and constipation. The healings have all been complete.

I am so grateful to God for Christian Science, for Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of this wonderful religion, and for the practitioners, who have helped me on my way. I am also grateful for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church.— (Mrs.) Wannetta B. Ritchie, Alexandria, Virginia.
