I love the teachings of Christian Science

Elizabeth Clio Bennett

I love the teachings of Christian Science. Perhaps we are sometimes asked, or we ask ourselves, "Why do I follow Christian Science?" Healing is only a part of this wonderful religion, yet if we have benefited through its therapeutic effects, we have the opportunity to learn that its prophylactic aspect also is no mystery, and at the same time we gain through spiritual enlightenment a greater understanding of God.

All was normal at the time of my birth, but after a fortnight my mother found herself with a sick baby, and it was found that I had contracted whooping cough, which developed into a serious case. My parents at this time knew nothing of Christian Science other than its name, but I had been given little or no medication, as this seemed useless.

At the end of about eight weeks, when there barely seemed to be hope, someone on the staff where my father was employed knew that he was an earnest worker in the church he then attended, spoke to him encouragingly, and recommended that Christian Science be tried. The decision to accept help through prayer alone from a Christian Science practitioner was made.
