Since I accepted Christian Science as true Christianity several years ago, it has been to me a school of advanced education in spiritual, intellectual, and therapeutic knowledge. In so far as I have abided by its laws I have been healed of sin, disease, and a mania for dissecting creeds, ever seeking religion as taught by Christ Jesus. I rejoice that I have found it in Christian Science. I was reared in a pious home of oldtime faiths, which taught the consummate wrath of God expressed in fire and brimstone, and Bibles were as plentiful as doctrines, but the Word therein was not discerned spiritually as understood in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. A thorough understanding of spiritual creation, utilized, is a prophylactic as well as healing balm for the belief that the real man is subordinate to the physical senses.
As to physical healings which I have experienced in Christian Science, they are numerous. With my children, pneumonia, whooping cough, infection, abscessed ears, and many other diseases have been quickly overcome. In my case, transformation from semi-invalidism to a state of satisfying health has been justifiable cause for a paean of praise for many years.
I recently received a healing from the effects of a fall down a flight of stone steps to a paved walk. There was a conspicuous indentation of the skull above one eye. Both eyes quickly closed from inflamed swelling of the flesh. There were lacerated limbs as well as shock to the nerves. Though stunned into momentary unconsciousness I was vehemently declaring as if to an enemy, "God is my life! God is my life!" No one apparently sensed my distress, though one or two people passed by.
