The privilege of having Christian Science...

From the October 1923 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The privilege of having Christian Science in the home has been mine since childhood. My mother resorted to it when her religion, and medical and mental treatment as well, failed to comfort her in a deep sorrow. It has been the only healing agency in our home since that time, now almost nineteen years ago; and it has never failed when its rules have been correctly applied.

If I had never received any benefits myself from this glorious truth I should have to be grateful for those benefits my mother, formerly a semi-invalid, but now able to minister to others, has received. At about the age of seventy-nine my dear grandmother was also convinced of the truth of Christian Science through seeing her son healed instantaneously and permanently of addiction to liquor.

Let me enumerate a few of the benefits I have received. A weak throat and grippe have been healed, and susceptibility to colds has been overcome. A severe case of influenza was met in one week. A painful rash disappeared overnight; and an alarming condition of the stomach that had all the appearance of ptomaine poisoning, was healed completely in thirty hours. On one occasion I sprained my ankle, but was able to walk a mile two hours afterwards.
