It is with a grateful heart that I would tell about my quick and sure healing in Christian Science. About two years ago, while working in a store, an explosion of about two thousand miniature revolver cartridges occurred. The effect was terrible, all the persons present as well as the windows and desks being struck. I was standing quite near the spot at the moment when the cartridges exploded, so that the left side of my face and the left hand and forearm were filled with the flying cartridges, and when I recovered my wits I found that I could hear but very little, the ear having been injured.
The proper moment had now come for me to experience the healing power of divine Love as taught in Christian Science, and to see it demonstrated. I had to submit to an examination by the physician who was immediately called in. One by one he picked the cartridges out of the burned parts as best he could. This was comparatively easy for him, as I did not resist, but rather tried to realize that matter has no sensation; and he was very much astonished at my quiet and unflinching conduct during his work", as many others, some of whom had sustained injuries less severe than mine, were moaning terribly with the pain. I did not ask for further medical attendance, and after the legal examination immediately went to a Christian Scientist, who took up treatment for me. My only desire was to have my hearing restored, and after the first treatment I could hear better. A few days later the wounds were healed, and the cartridges which had not been removed by the physician dropped out by themselves, and not the slightest scar was left on my face or arm. The healing power of divine Love was manifest on me, and all fears of blood-poisoning (it was said that particles of mercury were left in the wounds) were overcome and their nothingness proved. My hearing too is now normal.
This was and is a great proof to me and to many of my relatives, an indisputable fact that the understanding of Christian Science alone removes all human suffering and sin, instantly and completely. I am filled with gratitude to God, and also to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who through her unselfish work and her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has revealed to humanity the way to the spiritual recognition of being.
