Gratitude for Christian Science compels me to write this testimony. It is now close on thirty years since I first went to a Christian Science Sunday School, and for many years' regular attendance there I am most grateful; it laid foundations which nothing can wear away.
I have had many proofs of the power of Christian Science to heal and bless. After I was married I went to live in Egypt, where my husband had a post in an English-speaking school. We did not know how long we might have to live there, but we hoped that we might be able to return to England after a few years. Towards the end of my second year there, my husband answered one or two advertisements for posts in England, but we both knew we should have to work out this problem through Christian Science, and for several weeks much earnest work was done. We knew that we must be willing to do whatever God required of us, whether it meant staying in Egypt or returning home. One morning, I felt very clearly that my husband should give his notice of resignation, and he did so. In about a week's time, he had a letter from the headmaster of a school in London. This man had never seen my husband, but he offered him the post and asked him to cable back his answer "Yes" or "No." This seemed very wonderful to us, and we sent the cable after we had prayerfully considered the matter.
Although we had no furniture, and practically no money after we had paid our fares home, in a few weeks we had found a suitable flat within our means. In various ways furniture came to us, so that the flat was completely furnished before my husband started work at the new school. Step by step we were helped, through applying our understanding of Christian Science.
