Flossie S. Harrison with contributions from Isabel Lusk

I first became interested in Christian Science when a friend invited me to attend a lecture, which I did only because there was nothing else to do that night. I was intensely interested in the lecture, although it was several years before I took up the study of Christian Science. One night I went over to a neighbor's house, going in the back way, and by mistake stepped through an open cellar doorway and fell to the bottom of the stairs. Later, finding that something was internally wrong, I went to a physician who told me that I was ruptured and must be operated on, but I immediately decided that this was my opportunity to try Christian Science. I asked for treatment and within two weeks was entirely healed. Since then I have had many proofs of the healing efficacy of this wonderful truth. On two different occasions I sprained my ankle which, after becoming so swollen and painful that I could hardly touch my foot to the floor, was almost instantaneously healed in each case by earnestly applying my understanding of Christian Science.

Little by little, through the study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's works, I am putting off the shackles of erroneous thinking and learning to rely more and more on our Father-Mother God. It is impossible to express my gratitude for the joy and peace that have come to me through the knowledge that divine Principle is Love, and that through the application of our understanding of divine Principle every problem can be met. I am very grateful to Mrs. Eddy for the consecrated work she has done for mankind and for all the activities which she established. I get much help and inspiration from the Journal, Sentinel, and Monitor, and wish to express my sincere thanks to those who contribute to them.—(Mrs.) Flossie S. Harrison, Washington, District of Columbia.

I am very happy indeed to verify the testimony of my daughter, as given above. I am conversant with the healings mentioned. I also have had many healings through the power of divine Love, the first one being of pyorrhea, from which I suffered continually and as the result of which dentists had told me that I would lose all of my teeth; but with the help of a practitioner I was healed. I have also been healed instantaneously of sick headaches and colds, as well as of many other ailments. I have not words with which to express my gratitude for the understanding I am gaining each day of the allness of God. I am grateful for class instruction and for all of the activities of the Christian Science movement. I wish to express sincere gratitude for the literature which helps me to meet the problems of each day as they come up.—(Mrs.) Isabel Lusk, Washington. District of Columbia.
