MARIE HAWKIN

Christian Science is the most beautiful thing that has ever come into my life and I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy for that wonderful commentary on the Bible, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," a commentary which is always bringing into a clearer light the eternal truths of the Bible, and the scientific teachings that Jesus himself established. Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He surely meant freedom not only from the bondage of sin but from the bondage of sickness also, and this has been proved to me over and over again.

Five years ago our little son was run over by a motor car and very severely injured. He was picked up and carried to the nearest doctor, who shook his head in despair, called an ambulance, and sent him to a hospital. I had been studying Christian Science for only about three months when I experienced this severe test of my slight understanding. The injury was said to be internal and after an explorative operation the doctors said the bile duct was torn to ribbons and severed from the bowel. After some days I was told my son could not live twelve hours, and as a last resort the surgeons decided to attempt a more severe operation. But through the application of the truth as taught by Mrs. Eddy, and with the help of a faithful and loving practitioner, we were sustained, directed, and led through the tempest into still waters. A sudden improvement took place, the serious symptoms disappeared, the operation was abandoned, and the doctors said spontaneous healing had taken place within the last twenty-four hours. From this time onward the little boy made sure progress until he was restored to perfect health. At the end of thirteen weeks we took him away from the hospital. Three months later he was on his feet and running about, a year later he learned to swim, and two years later went away to a boarding school, as normal as any other boy, and played football and cricket with the rest. At the present time he is as healthy and rosy-faced as any one could wish.

I am deeply grateful to Christian Science for this beautiful healing, for I feel sure that without it our little boy would not be with us to-day. My sorrow was indeed turned into joy.—(Mrs.) MARIE HAWKIN, London, England.
