I should like to bear witness to the healing power of Christian Science. My husband and I have found that the understanding reached through the study of this divine revelation has removed a false sense of responsibility when physical difficulties and trials have arisen during the rearing of our three children. The realization that God is the true Father-Mother, not only of our children, but of ourselves as well, has resulted in a harmonious family.
A number of healings, including those of so-called children's diseases, ivy poisoning, inflammation, and colds, have been experienced. In addition we have been guided in daily affairs and have been protected when accidents have occurred.
When our youngest child was four years old, I found her on the floor unconscious and in a state of convulsions. I picked her up and walked through the house singing Mrs. Eddy's hymns. After a short time she relaxed, and I put her to bed. She was still unconscious however; so I called a Christian Science practitioner for help. I closed the bedroom door, feeling much as the Shunammite woman must have felt, and then I attended to the needs of our other children.
