Mere words cannot express my praise to God for all the benefits I have received from being a student of Christian Science.
From truths taught me at home and in a Christian Science Sunday School, I gained sure footing in the spiritual path. As a small child I had an instantaneous healing of a burn. Through the years, that healing encouraged me when new trials came along. I have also proved for myself many times that Science is preventive as well as curative. Through it I felt supported while growing up in a family of eight, as well as in school, at work, and later while raising my own family of four children.
One time a tornado threatened our farm. It was shortly after the birth of our second child. My husband dashed inside and called to me to get the children and come to the cellar, while he rushed to lift the door in the floor. I quickly responded. During the previous two years of living in the country, I had rejected fear in the midst of other storm threats. This time I did the same as I picked up the baby from her crib and led the other child by the hand into the cellar. As my husband shut the door over our heads, we could hear the storm hit.
