Testimony of Healing March 15, 1924 Issue

On page 329 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"...

Abraham H. Bluestein with contributions from Martin Luther

On page 329 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy states: "In Science we can use only what we understand. We must prove our faith by demonstration." In trying to crank my automobile, I broke my arm. I walked to my home, nearly two and a half miles, constantly repeating the "scientific statement of being" (Science and Health, p. 468) and the ninety-first psalm. With the help of a Christian Science practitioner, in two days I was able to be back at business; and on the fourth day I was able to shave myself, using this arm with no sense of discomfort. In a little over three weeks I drove the automobile. In the Manual of The Mother Church (p. 47) we are advised not to discuss details or symptoms of sickness or accidents. So I shall not mention these. There were no material means used in the way of a plaster cast, sling, or bandage, but entire reliance was placed on God; and the healing was perfect, the arm being perfectly restored to a normal condition, and I have full use of it as before the accident. In the two days that I was at home I felt no time was being lost, as they gave me such a splendid opportunity to search the Scriptures and some of Mrs. Eddy's books while working out this problem.

I am grateful, not only for this beautiful demonstration, but also for the thought of watching a little closer. I now realize more clearly the meaning of the words of Jesus, "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch;" and also the words of Mrs. Eddy on page 392 of Science and Health, "Stand porter at the door of thought."
