When our oldest daughter passed...

Margaret S. Tulloch

When our oldest daughter passed on I felt that God had been very unkind. A friend called on me and left a Sentinel. In reading it I found many passages from the Bible. Also it spoke often about the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I felt that I had to get that textbook. When I did, I read it from cover to cover three times. Then I realized that it was not God, but erroneous belief which had deprived us of our daughter.

While I was reading the textbook "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Phil. 4:7) came to me and healed my troubled thought. At the same time I was healed of a double rupture. I knew then that Christian Science was what I needed. Our family began to study the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly every morning before the children went to school. Gradually we came to understand how God heals through Science.

Our sons, who were athletes, always turned to the truth and were quickly healed when problems presented themselves. One of the boys was carried off the field unconscious after a baseball had hit him in the face with much force. For hours we repeated the hymns in our Christian Science Hymnal. Also we studied the lesson. The boy was in much pain and quite filled with fear. He asked why the healing was taking so long, and I replied that we must be persistent in knowing the truth, and then the healing would come. Just as the dawn was breaking he fell asleep. When he came downstairs after a short time, he was filled with joy, for the pain was gone. He said that his Father-Mother God had healed him. Before long there was no trace of the injury.
