At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in th...e book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. Read more
