Through the years that I have been a student of Christian Science, I have always been helped and comforted by reading the testimonies in our publications; so with deep gratitude I should like to add my testimony to show how Christian Science has helped me.
Never having had a physician or a medical diagnosis in the years that I have been a student of this Science, I have not always known the name of some of the difficulties of which I have been healed. However, through my own work and the loving help of practitioners I have been freed from many discordant situations.
A few years ago I experienced a healing of a suppurative condition which I believed to be of a malignant nature. The practitioner of whom I asked help reminded me that in "Unity of Good" our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, says (p. 9)., "Destroy the mental sense of disease, and the disease itself disappears." And in "Retrospection and Introspection" she says (p. 94), "When all fleshly belief is annihilated, and every spot and blemish on the disk of consciousness is removed, then, and not till then, will immortal Truth be found true, and scientific teaching, preaching, and practice be essentially one." There was much fear to be overcome in my thought, but when the "spot and blemish on the disk of consciousness" was cleared away, the discharge ceased, and the healing took place.
