When I was a young girl, an aunt took me to a Christian Science testimony meeting. There many wonderful experiences were given, I am sure, but the only one I have remembered all these years is that of a mother who said she was very grateful to have an answer to give her children when they asked her what God is.
Several years after this, I was led to have Christian Science help for a condition of uremic poisoning, which many physicians said could not be cured. This healing was accomplished in less than a week. Right after this we moved to another city, where we knew no one. The morning after our first attendance at a Wednesday evening meeting, we wakened to find our baby manifesting very distressing symptoms. This was a testing time for me, because loving relatives in all sincerity had warned me after my healing of my responsibility in regard to our children. I went into the room with my books and tried to read, but fear seemed to envelop me. Just then a friend who had spoken to us at the meeting stopped in. I was sure God had sent her and I told her my worry. She said she was going on an errand, but would leave her copy of The Christian Science Journal with me. I read it through, and then realized I had forgotten my baby! There she lay quietly sleeping, and when she awoke was as well as ever. I knew then that God is our only Physician, and that He cares for each of His ideas in all ways. Our four children have been marvelously protected, and we have had very little illness.
I am so grateful for the help in guiding and establishing the right kind of thinking in the lives of these young people. Every time I have put self out of the picture and have realized their true parentage, a victory over error has resulted.
