In gratitude for the healing Christ, and for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who revealed the Christ to us, I give this testimony to the healing power of Christian Science.
Recently my son, aged fifteen, was experimenting with a quantity of gunpowder, when without warning it exploded, severely burning his face, neck, ears, eyes, and nose. He was healed by the instantaneous application of the truth as stated by Mrs. Eddy in the Preface to Science and Health (p. xi), "The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation." I had no thought of fear. I knew that man has dominion, and that this was an opportunity to prove it. After three days the boy returned to school and resumed his normal activities. There was not a mark of the burn left.
I am grateful for my wife's healing of blood poisoning eight years ago. The poison affected the entire right limb, and at times it seemed as though she would pass on; however, through the valiant work of Christian Science practitioners, she was healed in five months, and today is a living testimony to the healing efficacy of Christian Science.
