In the Christian Science Sentinel of February 15, 1941, appeared a testimony telling of several healings which I had experienced through the application of Christian Science as set forth in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. More recently I had such a wonderful proof of God's loving care that I want to share it also. In 1945 my hearing became affected, and though I worked in Science, the condition became worse, until I was nearly deaf.
I decided finally to get some earphones. The salesmen tried on three different kinds, to find which one was strong enough. During these tests, they put the part that goes into the ear on the back of my neck and then on my forehead, and each time I was able to hear plainly. This showed me that one does not hear through the ear. I decided that as a Christian Scientist I did not need any of these material aids.
I asked a Christian Science practitioner to help me, and in two weeks my hearing became normal. But about a week later the trouble was back again. I asked the practitioner to take up work once more, but a week later I asked him to discontinue, as I felt I had been in Science long enough to work out my own salvation. Every morning for a week I got up deaf, but later in the day my hearing would return. At this time I retired from my work, and for two weeks I could hear nothing. During these weeks, when I awakened during the night, I worked quietly, repeating to myself all the Christian Science hymns that I knew until I fell asleep again.
