With deep gratitude I give these...

From the January 1940 issue of The Christian Science Journal


With deep gratitude I give these proofs of the healing power of Christian Science.

This beautiful religion was brought to my attention while I was training to become a medical nurse. I became acquainted with some relatives who were students of Christian Science. Their ability to overcome difficulties, and their kindnesses to others, made me want to know more about their religion. They lent me the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and some of the authorized literature. During this time I experienced a mental awakening and physical healings.

It was not until after my marriage that I gained the courage to give up my chosen work, with all its material beliefs. I was expecting a child, and deeply desired that it might be spared the results of all this false knowledge. A loving Christian Science practitioner agreed to help us if I would be obedient. Since that time I have studied the Lesson-sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly each day, and have regularly attended the church services. Glasses which I had worn since childhood were put away. At the time of the baby's birth a condition was revealed which doctors claim makes a normal birth impossible. But the baby was born normally, without injury, and I had no anesthetic or medical aid. In a week's time I took complete charge of the baby and all my housework, and it has never been necessary for me to spend a day in bed since.
