In a previous testimony published in the Sentinel in 1934 I mentioned only healings of physical diseases, but in this testimony I want to share some other ways in which Christian Science has helped me.
My first healing in Christian Science convinced me that I had found what I had long been seeking, namely, an understanding of God. I began learning that He is the Supreme Ruler of the universe, and that He is a good God who loves and cares for His children. As I began the study of this newly found religion I learned that God is divine Mind, the only intelligence, and that this Mind is my Mind and that as God's child, or reflection, I am expressing that intelligence. I also learned that God is impartial, divine Love, and that what was possible for one of His children was possible for all His children. As a result of my acceptance of this wonderful revelation I felt mentally unbounded. After having been out of school more than twenty-five years, and not previously having had consistent high school work, I was able to pass the entrance examination in a state university and to enroll in regular classes. The preparation for this step was both pleasant and easy.
Later, at a time when my contemporaries were beginning to talk of retiring, it became necessary for me to take into my home my two infant grandsons. I had been alone a number of years. This presented so great a challenge that I tried several times to make other arrangements which I felt would be better for the children, but each time the responsibility came back to me and, consequently, the boys grew up in my home. These words from Hymn No. 190 in the Christian Science Hymnal gave me much encouragement:
