It is a privilege to tell of the healing truth of Christian Science. Nineteen years ago I was healed of a malignant growth, and it has been a permanent healing. Many occasions of gratitude have come to us since then.
About seven years ago, while I was living in Nebraska, a large growth appeared on the left side between the hip bone and the front of my body, and it was very painful. For two months I could not stay long in one position, night or day; so I lost a great deal of rest. I was unable to dress as usual, but could not remain in bed. I did all my work, except for the first week, when a friend spent the days with me and did what she could to help me. I asked for absent treatment from a Christian Science practitioner in a distant city, but at the end of a week there had been no relief; so I concluded the healing must come through my own work. I had experienced a great disappointment and sense of loss. I knew this must be healed, and turning to God, my only support and help, I found relief and then came the healing. One thing I was very grateful for: I had made application to join a local branch church, and I found strength to dress and go to the communion service and sign the church roll.
Another healing took place about three years ago. Returning home one dark, rainy night, I slipped off the curbing, coming down very heavily on the outside of my left foot. I tried to realize God's ever present help and support, and was able to cross the car tracks twice, and gain my home, which was half a block away. This happened about six o'clock, and it was late at night before I was able to work for myself. My daughter helped me all she could. I taught my Sunday school class five days later. It was three weeks before I could cross the uneven bricks and not feel the pressure on the foot. The foot has never bothered me since and is as strong as the other.
