I first heard of Christian Science about fourteen years ago. I had been given up by seven doctors, all of whom told my husband that there was nothing more to do for me. A dear friend asked me why I did not try Christian Science, so at once I began the study of the textbook, and with the help of a practitioner I was restored to health. But I did not seem to be ready for this wonderful truth then, and read only occasionally until I again found myself ill. While I was lying in bed I noticed a Christian Science lecture in our paper. The thought came to me to study this Science once more, so I read the lecture, got up, dressed, did my housework, and have never been ill in bed since.
This was over four years ago. We have had healings of cuts, colds, influenza, earache, and many other troubles. For some of these we had the help of a practitioner; others were accomplished through our own understanding. I shall always be grateful for a healing of our boy. He was working under a car when something hit him in the face, cutting his nose and making an ugly gash. He asked me to wash the dirt out of it, and to put something over it. I telephoned to a practitioner for help, and after one week it was healed so nicely and completely that no one could tell he had ever had such an experience. All our children study Christian science and are learning to apply it to all their problems.
I am more than grateful to our be loved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for giving this wonderful truth to the world; and also to the practitioner who lovingly has helped us over so many rough places. I am trying to know more of this beautiful truth so that I may help others as I have been helped. — Lakeside, California.
