Testimony of Healing August 20, 1921 Issue

It is my desire to express publicly my gratitude to God...

Helen W. Barnard

It is my desire to express publicly my gratitude to God for the healing and protection I am constantly experiencing through the understanding of Christian Science and the application of its teachings.

In crossing a busy street one evening I was knocked down by an automobile, the wheel going over one foot. As I fell, the weight of my body was thrown on the other limb, which seemed to strain it quite severely. I instantly worked to realize the fact that all that God knows about idea is spiritual, and that there is no material counterfeit to be affected by any belief of an accident. The next day I was called upon to start on a two weeks' trip, which I did, but with quite a bit of pain at first; but in proportion to my rejoicing that I was already healed, I began to realize my freedom. During the period of this same trip, as I stepped into one of the hotel elevators the operator let the wheel slip, and tthe foot of the same limb was caught in between the shaft and the elevator, throwing me on my face. I rode in this position half the distance between floors, and while lying there I realized the truth and felt no sense of fear or disturbance. My foot was then released, without the slightest injury. In less than three weeks from the time of the first accident, I was conscious of absolute freedom. This demonstration was made through my own realization of the truth and without calling upon a practitioner for help. I also desire to express my appreciation of all the Christian Science periodicals. During the period of the war I found them indispensable, especially The Chrisitna Science Monitor, for accurate information. They are so completely filled with truth that they dispense healing wherever they are received. The following is one specific instance in my own experience. I was greatly disturbed over a very important decision which I seemed called upon to make. It seemed to affect very seriously another person, and I felt it necessary to call upon a Chrisitna Science practitioner for help, but could not arrange for an interview at that time. I was positive, however, because of God's ever presence, that my help was at hand. I at once picked up a copy of the Monitor that was beside me and there found a complete and satisfactory answer to my prayer. Needless to say, the decision proved a blessing to us both. I had been trying to see the fact about this problem for several years. This is only one of the many blessings I have recently experienced through the periodicals. I am indeed grateful for these healing truths, which are being presented to all mankind through the Christian Science literature.
