  	       HEALED OF RHEUMATISM AND BRIGHT'S DISEASE 

21	    I am very thankful to God for what He has done for
  	me. I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles
  	and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I
24	was trying to understand it, prior to joining some
  	church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I
  	had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood
27	up, but never could find any that met my need. As
  	time passed on, my condition became very alarming. 
  	Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some
30	years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 
 1	Then there appeared some complications, so distressing
  	that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre-
 3	quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — 
  	such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer-
  	ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very
 6	near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it
  	now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro-
  	bation, and I would be dead before that. 
 9	    About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in
  	reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to
  	that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had
12	been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth
  	and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science
  	and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find
15	out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then ...to live long. 
  	I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and
  	Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be
18	saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged
  	me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and
  	praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where
21	had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science
  	and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl-
  	edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do
24	everything, that He made everything that was made,
  	that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed
  	me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles-
27	ton, Ill.
