Twelve years ago Christian Science...

From the February 1953 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Twelve years ago Christian Science came to my attention through a healing of mastoiditis which my mother experienced. My interest in Truth's healing power was stimulated by the splendid work and loving-kindness of a practitioner. Since I, like others, wondered why Jesus' system of healing is not taught mankind today in the orthodox churches, I began to study the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, as well as to read the Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel. While I was doing this I was healed of the smoking habit.

A few years later my mother passed on, and the same practitioner did such excellent work for me that I was healed of grief quickly and was able to carry on necessary duties in a normal way at my mother's office and in my home. Some time later, phases of a nervous breakdown suddenly appeared, and for many months fears of every sort constantly clamored for attention. I was far from my home; but a dear worker in the city where I was living faithfully assisted me. It was possible to come East with a friend, and three weeks afterward an apartment which has since provided a happy home was located.

The healing was slow and required the most persistent and consecrated study that I had yet done. During this time, through steadfast reliance on God, I gained a better understanding of His ever-protecting care and love for His children.
