Harriet Potter Nourse

Such wonderful blessings have come to me through the understanding of Christian Science that it would be selfish, indeed, if I did not share with others the opportunity to rejoice with me in the demonstration of this wonderful truth. At various times in the past, loving friends had offered to help me in Science; but it did not appeal to me. It seemed cold; and I thought what I needed was "the human touch," not realizing how infinitely tender is the God who is Love.

I have had several instantaneous healings through Christian Science of serious attacks of illness. Once, when I had pneumonia, I tried for several days to heal myself; but I was too ill to read, and had lost my voice when the practitioner was called. He demonstrated the truth so quickly that before an hour passed I had risen from my bed, dressed, breakfasted, and gone to church, it being Sunday morning. It was with deepest gratitude that I was able to take part in the whole service, including the singing, especially of Mrs. Eddy's beautiful hymn, "Shepherd, show me how to go."

Another wonderful healing occurred during the epidemic three years ago. I was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill on the street with a congestive chill; and after a night of high fever and delirium my friends brought in a physician and nurses, who did not expect to save me, especially if pneumonia developed. The bronchial cough seemed to tear me to pieces; but at no time was I afraid; and as soon as I came to myself I dismissed them. I was extremely weak, did not gain strength, and could sit up but a moment at a time. So I lay in bed for several days reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and expecting to recuperate quickly.
