I came to Christian Science for healing at a time when I was about to take a trip to the Pacific Coast. Just a week before I was to start I came down with pleurisy, which had previously never yielded in less than three weeks under medical treatment. I called on a Christian Science practitioner for help and was healed in one week. Glasses were laid off at this time also. These healings took place over twenty years ago, and they have been permanent.
After my healing I occasionally went to a practitioner for help, although I did not accept Christian Science as a religion until 1912. At this time we moved to Detroit, and as I had had no church home for a year and was feeling the need of one, I was led to the Christian Science church. During the intervening years our family has had many blessings through the healing power of Truth. We have had instantaneous healings of measles, croup, and whooping cough. Jaundice was healed in three treatments; nervousness and extreme weakness have been overcome. As resentment was put out of thought the healing of two cyst tumors took place.
These are only a few of the many healings we have had, but the most wonderful one of all was that of grief. On Thanksgiving Day in 1918 my husband passed on as the result of an accident and I was left with the care of three young children, the youngest aged one and a half and the oldest seven and a half years. We had our home and one small insurance policy, but, best of all, we had God and Christian Science. Through the help of a practitioner who had helped us many times before, we were led to remain in our home, knowing that God would never leave us or forsake us; and He never has. Our supply came in many ways because we simply looked to God for it and trusted Him. There have been many trying times, but they have been growing times. Christian Science means everything to me. I have found in it all one could desire. I never really knew what happiness was until I found God as we know Him in Christian Science.
