I am grateful for Christian Science, for it means everything to me. I did not begin the study of this religion because of the need of a physical healing, but because I had been told that it was God-inspired and that it was based on the teachings of Christ Jesus. Also I wanted to know how it healed.
My first healing was that of inharmony in the home. When the material senses were silenced, the angel message came, "God is the only power," and peace such as I had never known followed. Through the years we have had many experiences of Christian Science healing, among them the healing of sick headaches, the tobacco habit, colds, and sore throat. Our son was healed of a broken arm, and our youngest child of warts on both hands. She was also healed instantly of influenza when I read to her from the Bible.
An outstanding healing occurred some time ago. Our daughter was taken very ill, and as the weeks and months went by she gradually grew worse. No longer able to care for her home and her few months old child, she came to stay with us. One night she seemed worse, and as I read to her, I felt that she was passing on. I quickly called the practitioner who was helping her. Then came the reassuring words, "She is not passing on, for God is her Life." I became calm. W e never knew the name of this condition, but from that moment she began to improve, and soon was completely and permanently healed.
