Forty years ago I was healed instantaneously...

From the October 1949 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Forty years ago I was healed instantaneously of a ruptured blood vessel through the work of a Christian Science practitioner. The slightest exertion had caused hemorrhage. The thought that helped me most was the realization that Truth makes us free.

Acute indigestion was overcome by my own work in Christian Science. I realized that I must "prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (I Thess. 5:21). This verse came to me as from the still, small voice of Truth. I did not know where to find it in the Bible, but I knew that no power could prevent me from studying and putting into practice the truths of Christian Science as given to us in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

All my life I had suffered from sick headaches. The treatments that were given during many years would help me temporarily, but it was only when I learned the command (Luke 21:19), "In your patience possess ye your souls," and obeyed it, that the permanent healing came to me.
