Testimony of Healing July 1, 1911 Issue

Alice E. D'Eathe with contributions from Geo. E. Boyd

It is over three years since the Christian Science textbook was brought into my home by a friend, and ever since that time life has had a different meaning for me. What used to be a weary, almost hopeless existence, has now become a beautiful thing, full of glorious opportunities and of joy and peace. I was not attracted to Christian Science because I consciously needed healing, rather because I was deeply sensible of a great want that I felt the services in the church to which I belonged should have filled, but which they did not; nevertheless, I had endured for seven years a pain (the result of a serious operation) which rarely left me altogether, and at times was very acute. This, however, had become so much a part of my life that it never occurred to me it might be cured; indeed, it was not until several months after its disappearance that I realized it had gone forever.

This healing came simply through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and with the healing came a great sense of freedom from a fear which had made my life a misery ever since the operation, the doctors having told me that in all probability a second one would be necessary. This experience alone would be sufficient cause for gratitude, but it is only one of many physical benefits that I have received through Christian Science.

To know that God is Love, and not the author of our misfortunes, has meant everything to me. I had always tried to love God and to serve Him, even when I believed that all my trials were sent by Him, though often I found it very uphill work; but now, to realize that we are always in the actual presence of divine Love, that is protecting and guarding us from every ill save those which are brought about by our own wrong thinking, has truly been the rolling away of the stone from the mouth of the sepulcher and the illumination of consciousness with the knowledge of Life as God, good.
