Ernest L. Bailey

In the fall of 1914 I was instantaneously healed of gallstones through the help of a Christian Science practitioner. This healing ended a period of twenty-five years of suffering and semi-invalidism. My wife telephoned for help, and the practitioner, to whom I had often scoffed at Christian Science, made this reply: "If your husband wants help he must come to the telephone himself and ask for it." I did so, although in the extremity of pain, and in ten minutes was sleeping as peacefully as I ever did in my life.

This experience wrought a transformation. I was changed. That trip to the telephone was made "the road to Damascus," and, like Paul, I saw "a great light." Those reading this who have had a similar experience will appreciate the avidity with which I read the Bible and Science and Health; how the upper altitudes alone were high enough for me, but a testing time inevitably came and I had to prove my understanding of the truth, but I know that my feet are now planted on solid ground, and that I am making progress.

My family and I have profited greatly through reading the literature of Christian Science. We are readers, and of necessity reading is our chief means of recreation. We find that the reading of the Bible, of Mrs. Eddy's writings, and of the Christian Science literature, is always followed by a sense of spiritual gain. Since the first of January of last year I have been healed of complications so grave to mortal estimate that materia medica allows of no recovery,—but God, who is my Life, healed me through His word. In many other instances I and members of my family have been confronted by ills that, to mortal sense, seemed insurmountable, but which when confronted by the truth were proved to be nothing. We have learned that God is good; that God and His idea is all there is, and that man has nothing to fear.—Ernest L. Bailey, Medina, New York.
