Clara A. Whitworth

I should like to express my deep gratitude for Christian Science—for all the good, the freedom, and the happiness which the knowledge of this truth is bringing into my life. I have proved the power of Christian Science to heal and to overcome many inharmonious conditions.

About six years ago, with the loving help of a Christian Science practitioner, I was healed of blood poisoning in a few weeks. Although the trouble in my right foot seemed severe, I was able to get about almost the whole time and attend to my ordinary work; and I missed only one Sunday service.

Another healing which has been a great help to me occurred at the time of an influenza epidemic. I became ill with this trouble one Saturday at midday, and grew steadily worse. All the time I was clinging to the truth and studying, as much as possible, our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Early on Monday morning I commenced to study our Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly. When I was halfway through the lesson, the following words from Science and Health (p. 308), "Until the lesson is learned that God is the only Mind governing man, mortal belief will be afraid as it was in the beginning," brought a great sense of relief and spiritual uplift. I saw that God is indeed the only Mind, and that man, "the full representation of Mind" (Science and Health, p. 591), can be neither sick nor afraid. A great longing filled my heart that those who were in such sore need of it might know this great truth. I knew I was healed; and so it proved. On the following Wednesday I was able to testify to the healing power of divine Mind at our evening meeting.

One other healing I should like to relate was that of a severe nervous trouble, which caused much pain and made me unable to move my head. At the time of this healing, through the loving, faithful work of a practitioner, I was lifted above a great sense of care and worry, as each day brought a clearer consciousness of man's oneness with the Father. I always remember this healing with much gratitude because of the spiritual light which accompanied it.

For our revered Leader's unselfed love in giving this truth to the world I am indeed grateful. I am grateful, too, for the faithful work of our practitioners; also for the great privilege of class instruction, which has recently been mine.—(Mrs.) Clara A. Whitworth, Wilston, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
