Testimonies of Healing

Throughout our married life my husband...

From the June 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Throughout our married life my husband and I have relied on Christian Science alone for healing. Our three children have had very few so-called children's diseases. Any that appeared were quickly healed, sometimes with the help of a practitioner, sometimes by our own work, and the incidence has diminished as our spiritual understanding has increased.

There was an occasion when our elder son fell twenty-five feet down a cliff onto rocks beneath. I had been sitting on the beach thinking about the week's Lesson-sermon, given in the Quarterly, when I saw him slip. I felt so secure in the truth I had been contemplating that I did not even rise to my feet, but called to him as he fell, "All is well!"

In the silence that followed his disappearance amongst the rocks at the base of the cliff, I said firmly, "Get up!" In a moment he emerged, and apart from some grazes on one knee, which we dismissed with the truth that since the real man had never fallen there could in reality be no aftereffects of a fall, he was unscathed. He went right back to climbing on the cliffs.
