It is with joy that I submit this testimony expressing my gratitude for Christian Science and its ever-present, efficacious healing power. From the time I was first introduced to the healing laws of Truth in a Christian Science Sunday School, the utilization of these laws has brought me countless healings which nullified the laws of health and existence generally accepted by mankind. It would be impossible to give account of each instance in which remarkable results have followed the application of the rules and directions set forth in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I hope that the instances of healing related here will be beneficial to other seekers for Truth, even as the testimonies printed in the Christian Science periodicals have benefited me.
When I was in junior high school one of my legs became infected, and blood poisoning led to a sudden loss of its use. I then decided to read Science and Health from cover to cover, because I concluded that it contained the truth that could heal my leg. I spent the next two weeks reading this book, being unable to work on my morning newspaper route or to attend school. At the end of this two-week period I was completely healed, and I immediately returned to my morning route and to school. That my leg was permanently healed is evidenced by its more than thirteen years of vigorous use since that time, including use in athletics, such as football and track.
About a year after that healing, while riding my bicycle, I was hit broadside by an automobile whose driver was intoxicated. I landed on the front bumper of the car in an upright sitting position with my back against the radiator grill and rode in this position unharmed and even comfortably for forty feet. My bicycle dragged under the car for a distance and was demolished by the rear wheels. I attribute my protection to the truths gained from my study of the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and to practicing them as I had been taught in Sunday School.
