Testimony of Healing October 2, 1920 Issue

So much good has come to me since beginning the study...

Mary A. V. Shaw

So much good has come to me since beginning the study of Christian Science, I wish to acknowledge through the Sentinel some of the blessings received. During part of the year 1918, and up to March, 1919, my health seemed to be failing rapidly. Prior to that time, I had enjoyed excellent health. In January, 1919, I was sent to a hospital for what a physician diagnosed as a complication of incurable diseases. After remaining in the hospital for a month without any improvement in my condition, I was removed to my home, and no encouragement was held out to me that I might ever be any better. In this condition I turned to Christian Science, seeking a practitioner for help. I was healed almost immediately not only physically but spiritually. The practitioner treated me for one week only and, with the exception of one visit made to her, all other treatments were absent. At the end of one week I called her over the telephone and said, "I think I can take care of myself. I never felt better in my life." I had been living on the strictest diet, but on the recommendation of the practitioner, given in my first treatment, I began to eat everything forbidden me by the physicians.

Five weeks after my first treatment, to please my husband and to make my family feel more comfortable I had one of the physicians make a thorough examination. Much to his surprise he found me a well woman. Since I had not called on him for professional help for five weeks, he was at a loss to understand what had caused the change. He said, "What has caused the change?" I said, "I have been healed by God, through the understanding of a Christian Science practitioner, and have not only been healed physically but uplifted spiritually." There is nothing impossible with God. I hope this testimony may be the means of pointing the way to some sin-sick mortal who is looking for help as I was.

Words fail to express my heartfelt gratitude to God, and to our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has shown us the way, and to the practitioner whose devoted ministration has brought me to see and know the truth.
