It is with sincere love and gratitude to God for all that He has done for me that I give this testimony.
I had been a registered medical nurse and knew nothing of Christian Science until seven years ago when I was called on a Christian Science case. The patient was a child whose parents were removing him from a hospital in an apparently hopeless condition and placing him under the care of a practitioner. The child had had several operations, and a great deal of surgical dressing was required. As no Christian Science nurse with hospital training was available, I was asked to take the case, and was willing to do so in order to help bring about the healing.
The experience proved to be a blessing to me. As I observed the child's progress and saw Science overcoming conditions which I knew materia medica could not conquer, I began to have great respect for it, whereas we had ridiculed it at the hospitals. Out of curiosity, and also to help the child, I read the periodicals and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and found very shortly that I too was having healings. One of the outstanding ones, just from reading the textbook, was that of shingles. Another healing was of a severe attack of sinus trouble for which I had only one treatment from a practitioner. The previous winter I had had a similar attack and was treated by the best medical specialist I knew of, who used X-ray treatments, serums, and various other remedies, but I was miserable for many months. Words cannot express my gratitude for this healing.
