On October 4, 1930, my testimony was published in the Christian Science Sentinel, and during the intervening years I have demonstrated Christian Science more extensively for myself and others. Through this precious gift to mankind I have been restored to a healthy, strong woman and for thirty-two years have enjoyed the many blessings that are rightfully mine by the constant study and practice of the beautiful truths contained in the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and our Leader's other writings. By acknowledging the allness of God's presence and power and relying on His sustaining love, I have experienced protection on many occasions.
I should like to share a few of the many healings that it has been my privilege to experience. In several instances of accidents the power of God has been proved. Broken bones have been set and permanently healed through mental surgery alone. One healing was of a fractured ankle. Two weeks after the injury occurred, an X-ray picture was taken to please members of my family who were not interested in Christian Science. It showed that the ankle had been broken in two places, but had set perfectly. In a few weeks I was driving the car, attending church, and doing my household duties. This healing was accomplished solely through my reliance on God.
Another healing was of a cracked kneecap, which came in a remarkably short time through the immediate declaration that, as a child of God, I could not be hurt, because in His creation there are no accidents. A dislocated collarbone was adjusted, although I knew little of Christian Science, by my patiently declaring that it is God who heals. Severe and frequent attacks of neuralgia which I had had from childhood also disappeared.
