The testimonies of healing given in the Christian Science periodicals have been helpful and inspiring to me for many years, and in gratitude I should like to tell of two healings I have experienced through wholehearted reliance on Truth.
One healing was instantaneous—that of oak poisoning which covered both legs; it took place soon after I became interested in Christian Science. I was led to study the lesson for the week in the Christian Science Quarterly, the title of which was "God the Only Cause and Creator." As I pondered the truth set forth in this lesson, my thought was so uplifted that I became conscious only of great peace and joy. Before I had finished reading the lesson, the condition was healed. In the eighteen years since this healing took place, there has been no recurrence of oak poisoning in my experience.
Although very grateful for the physical relief of this healing, I was more grateful for the positive proof that Christian Science heals. This proof has been a staff on which I have leaned through many testing times. In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says (Pref., p x), "The divine Principle of healing is proved in the personal experience of any sincere seeker of Truth." Arthritis of the spine was healed with the help of Christian Science practitioners who worked for me at different times.
