Testimony of Healing April 2, 1921 Issue

"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy...

Almira F. Chace

"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy first entered our home in the spring of 1905, it having been lent to us by a friend, who is a Christian Scientist. From this time until the following August I spent hours with this book, covering its text three times before purchasing my first copy. Previous to this reading, I knew what it meant to lie in bed for six weeks at a time with muscular and inflammatory rheumatism and to spend as many more in my room convalescing.

Soon after becoming interested in Christian Science, symptoms of rheumatism were again manifested. A practitioner was called on Saturday, and, although it was difficult for me to move about that night, on Sunday morning I attended a Christian Science service several miles from my home, to which I went in a drizzling rain. I had two absent treatments, and the result was healing. Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, says in Science and Health (p. 411), "The procuring cause and foundation of all sickness is fear, ignorance, or sin." I rejoice that fear of rheumatism has been destroyed in my thought and that I know I live and move and have my being in God.

Rheumatism in my feet had made it necessary for me to have my shoes made, one of which was two sizes wider than the other. Christian Science enabled me to wear mates. Three fingers were severely burned nearly the entire length, and I was told that my hand would be disfigured. The healing through Christian Science was perfect; not even a scar remains. Two large warts also have disappeared.
