From the November 1961 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I value very highly the opportunity I had to attend a Christian Science Sunday School for seven years. The understanding gained there that God is a loving Father and companion gave me the faith to trust Him for the removal of subsequent cares. A condition of migraine was destroyed by the realization that God is reflected by man and that no faculty of Mind can be lost. This healing took place during the Second World War. It had been over a year since my husband and I had been stationed near a town having a Christian Science church. Because the headache was recurring very frequently and because the last attack had been severe and prolonged, I became fearful of my ability to continue to care for our baby.

I attended the Protestant service at the Air Force base the Sunday following the attack, and it was my great joy to find Christian Science literature on a table by the door. I knew my need would now be met. I gathered up several copies of The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel and did little else the following week but read everything in them. I gained a clearer understanding of God, and all fear left me. This was fifteen years ago, and I have had no migraine trouble since. I shall always be grateful for the literature distribution committees of branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, which make Christian Science literature available to others. More than once it has met my immediate need.

When our second child was born, it was the opinion of the doctor that the baby had a deformity of the bone and muscle structure resulting in a club foot. Accordingly he made arrangements for the child to have treatments at a children's hospital. Shortly after he had done so, the baby kicked off the bandage which he had put on her foot, and I felt that we had to make a choice then and there to replace the bandage and accept medical treatment or to rely on Christian Science.
