Knowing that testimonies of Christian Science healing are positive proofs of the power of divine Science and of God's care for His children, I offer this testimony. In rearing our family of four children we have had many such proofs.
Our eldest daughter had a healing of eczema through a gradual lessening of selfishness and a growing appreciation of a younger sister. Help was asked for from a Christian Science practitioner, whose alertness and love quickly uncovered the irritation the girl felt toward her sister and the great sense of self in her thought. She gave our daughter, a pupil in the Sunday School, specific work to do each day with her Christian Science textbooks, the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. This work the girl did faithfully.
When she was invited to go with a friend on a vacation, my husband, not yet a Christian Scientist, insisted on taking her to a physician to have the condition diagnosed as to its infectious nature. She rebelled strongly at this, but when we discussed the situation, she consented to her father's request, realizing that it was the obedient thing to do. The practitioner continued her work during this time, and the physician only looked at the difficulty, named it, and suggested that she be taken to a specialist for such diseases. My husband seemed satisfied with the physician's opinion that the disease was not infectious and did not mention having her go to the specialist.
