I have had many healings solely through the application of Christian Science, including those of a broken arm and a crippling condition when a small child. In later years I passed rigid physical examinations in qualifying for service in submarines during wartime.
After a while I drifted far from Christian Science and seemed headed toward certain destruction until a neighbor gave me a copy of Miscellaneous Writings by Mrs. Eddy. Grateful, I started reading and remembering. I was quickly healed of the tobacco habit and a serious alcohol problem. Through a more patient application of the teachings of Science, other ugly and unacceptable traits were eliminated and overcome completely. One thing I know, without Christian Science I would not be here.
Some years ago in the business where I had worked for nearly twenty years, a change in management was made. Conditions altered rapidly and I soon found myself confronted with bitter and angry attitudes. When asking questions I was often ignored, telephone messages were not relayed to me, incorrect and misleading information was given to me, and when an error was discovered in my work, it was photographed and filed pointedly with my knowledge. Often I found myself feeling depressed and resentful and almost unable to do my job. Frequently I had to call a Christian Science practitioner to help me through prayer. I had to take a radical stand for Principle and make a specific effort to maintain my joy and balance. Christian Science sustained me. For three years this condition continued with no apparent change. During this time I learned much patience, became less critical, gained in humility, and developed a much deeper love for Christ Jesus' example and for Mrs. Eddy for giving us this Science.
