A testimony from me is long overdue, and I should like to express my gratitude to God for Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, and for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I have been healed of discordant conditions and of smoking and the social drinking habit.
Although previously interested in Christian Science, I drifted away from it while serving with the Royal Air Force in India during World War II. At that time I contracted a skin disease and was eventually sent home and given the best medical attention possible. After some weeks in hospital I was discharged, having been told by the specialist that there was nothing more he could do for me and that I would never be entirely free from the trouble, particularly if I remained in the sun or in strong artificial light. I would not accept this verdict and turned again to Christian Science. A practitioner worked for me until the healing was complete. I have since spent much time in the hottest sun and worked in the glare of powerful are lamps with no return of the condition. This healing took place more than six years ago.
Four years ago I was fulfilling a theatrical engagement in New Zealand when, after a performance, I had a sudden heart attack. A practitioner was called, and immediately loving help was given. Due to the terms of my contract, I had to undergo a thorough medical examination, which was made with the most modern devices known to medical science. The verdict was that I must go into hospital for a long course of treatment, during which I would not be permitted even to feed myself. I turned to Christian Science unreservedly, and with the tireless help of the practitioner, who frequently sat beside my bed for many hours during the day and night, fear was overcome, and my healing followed.
