Many times I have had the desire to write my testimony for the Journal or Sentinel, and be a grateful witness to the healing power of Christian Science in every problem. When I was a little girl Christian Science came into my life through my mother, but I did not make it my own until after I left my home and had to stand alone with God. Then the seeds which had been planted began to grow and I have proved many times that Christian Science heals and regenerates. I have been healed of grip, jaundice, appendicitis, all within a week's treatment, with no convalescent period. My children have been healed of influenza, bronchitis, measles, of intestinal disturbances, and of other ills too numerous to mention.
One of the most beautiful healings was of a sense of separation. My husband was called to the army in the first draft and it seemed honest and right that he should go. After about three months in this country he was suddenly ordered out of the officers' training school and was sent to France. For the first few days I was a most unhappy woman, almost out of my mind the shock seemed so great, and I was also very rebellious against the whole situation. The responsibility of the three children seemed more than my share and I hardly knew what I was doing. I remember telling a practitioner that all the joy in life had gone for me and I never wanted to see any one again. That was on Wednesday; the following Monday I awoke with such a sense of joy and freedom that I found myself actually singing, and gradually it dawned upon me that I was healed. All fear and resentment were gone and a feeling of security and absolute satisfaction had taken its place. I was sure that my husband was doing exactly right and that he was quite safe in serving his country. He was in France nine months, and so completely was I healed that never once did I have any fear for him, but only joy and peace in the thought of God's ever present love for His children. When the armistice was signed I knew that God would guide him and send him back at the right time and I found so much calmness in just resting in that knowledge, and it all worked out very harmoniously.
To say that I am grateful for Christian Science seems so little. It is my greatest blessing and I love it more and more. I grow more grateful every day to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for showing me how to love and serve God.— Bronxville, New York.
