Healed by Faithful Study of Science and Health

Lila A. Young

The half can never be told of what Christian Science has done for me, but I desire to relate my healing of inherited consumption. It was five years before I could say, with solid conviction, I am healed. Healed by the Truth as revealed to my understanding by the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy. The healing was the result of constant and earnest striving to know the Truth which will make all men free. Science and Health was my healer. My mother and all her family, and also a sister of my father's, had passed away with lingering consumption.

My sister and myself had received our so-called inheritance of the flesh—consumption. We were both given up by the doctors as incurable. I was confined to my bed the greater part of twelve years. The last physician whom I employed was a noted practitioner, a specialist in San Francisco. He was well known in Europe as an eminent physician. He knew of no climate that could help me. He said, "I can only compare you to a sensitive plant. Touch you with either heat or cold and you wither." Such was my condition until I became a student of Science and Health. I have been healed six years and am now trying to do all the good I can in the name of him who said, "The works that I do he shall do also."

If there is one who is waiting longer than they wish for their healing, I wish to say, "Be of good cheer, it will certainly come, if you trust and faint not."
