After I had been instantaneously healed of a bad sore throat, I began studying Christian Science in earnest. About two weeks later I dropped a bucket of boiling water in such a way that it did not turn over, but splashed up, burning my face, right eye, and arm. There was no pain, and these words came to me as though from God: What a glorious opportunity this is to prove what Truth can do! I realized that man is spiritual, and that God was taking care of me. A Christian Science practitioner was called and gave me treatment, declaring that sight could not be impaired. At the request of my mother and my husband an eye specialist was called, who said my eye was in a serious condition. Everyone but the practitioner thought I would be scarred for life and possibly blind in one eye. I could not see with it for a month. Then, one day, while receiving treatment from the practitioner in her office, I found that I could see; and in a few more days I could see perfectly; and there were no scars left. This was about fifteen years ago.
Ten years ago, when I had influenza, the same influence tried to get me to have medical aid, but I said I would depend entirely on Christian Science. I did so, and was perfectly healed in a day and a half. Nine years ago I had the privilege of class instruction. I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church.— Kansas City, Missouri.
