I was reared in Christian Science, and I can recall my mother many years ago telling me that when an infant I was brought back to life by the work of a practitioner. With my mother's passing on I was severed from my connection with Christian Science until our little daughter was healed of a serious illness four years ago. This aroused an urgent desire to study. Countless blessings have followed. The daily study of the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly and the reading of other Christian Science literature are leading to physical healings and harmony in the home. Excessive smoking and drinking dropped away from my husband and me on the day our daughter was healed. This blessing has been permanent. Also at this time I was privileged to find among my mother's things a letter dated the year of my birth, in which she recounted the above healing of her infant daughter, and in which she stated that breathing had stopped for some time when work was taken up by a practitioner and life was restored.
A painful neuritic condition of long standing in my arm was overcome in the middle of the night on a railroad train. The fact that God is ever present and the only physician was fully realized, and permanent healing resulted. I am most grateful, as this condition had been very crippling, interfering with the most ordinary daily tasks, such as dressing myself.
A kidney disorder of several years' standing and of increasing pain was overcome early one morning, after I had spent a usual sleepless night, by the practitioner's clear statements of truth over the telephone. The pain was extinguished completely at some point during his statements. This was close to three years ago, and the discord has not returned. For this instantaneous healing, I am very grateful. The above healings at the time seemed miraculous to me, but an increased understanding of the concept of good as natural is a glorious part of the unfoldment brought about by a study of this Science.
