Testimony of Healing August 7, 1926 Issue

It is my earnest desire to express my gratitude and appreciation...

Eleanor M. Lanham

It is my earnest desire to express my gratitude and appreciation for the testimonies published in the Christian Science Sentinel. As I read many of them, tears of gratitude freely flow, and a sincere desire goes out to God that I, too, may reflect and understand enough of divine Love to heal and help my fellow-men.

We have had many proofs of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God, and with the desire that some may be helped I lovingly relate the following experience. Discord seemed rampant among the children in the neighborhood. For days there seemed cause for resentment, since bigger boys made it most uncomfortable for my little boy, till I found it necessary to keep him by himself until the problem was solved. As we were the only Christian Science students in the neighborhood, they took advantage to twit him about this. We were, of course, striving to meet it all with truth and love.

The child had recently had a beautiful healing of measles and abscess, during which time we felt we had gained much in the understanding of Science, and we were happy over the experience. So I told him this discord was nothing more than error trying to discourage and hinder us. We immediately knew error had no power, and held to this. I read constantly on harmony, but still error would present itself. Finally, one day after much reading the thought came, You have done all you can; leave it with God. So I obediently closed the book, and went about my household duties.
