I am deeply grateful to Christian Science for teaching me...

Elizabeth C. M. Moolman

I am deeply grateful to Christian Science for teaching me to turn to God and lean upon Him, whatever the need may be. During the years that I have been interested in this Science I have had many proofs of God's willingness and ability to heal and uphold under all circumstances. I am truly grateful for a healing I had in October, 1926. I got up on a ladder to fix a blind and was right on top when the ladder slipped and I came down full length. My leg was twisted under me, my shoulder badly hurt, and I could feel that a rib was broken. I remember beginning to say "the scientific statement of being" from page 468 of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, but did not get very far when I fainted. After a seemingly long sleep I awoke to find myself lying face downwards on the floor, and thought that I should have to remain there until someone found me, as I was quite alone in the house. I was close to the bed, and after several attempts managed to pull myself up to a sitting position on it. Here, again, my need was met, for a voice at the door asked if I was in: divine Love had guided a loving practitioner to come to me. She came again next day, and I still seemed very ill. On Sunday she read the Christian Science Bible Lesson with me, and I did not keep to my bed, but managed to get about as best I could. Later in the week the practitioner told me she was leaving the next day. I felt I could not do without her, but she reminded me that God was not leaving me; and I realized that now was my testing time, that I was not alone because God is ever present. On Sunday I went to church—healed.

I am deeply grateful for membership in a Christian Science Society and also in The Mother Church. At one of our lectures I was healed of a very painful condition of the feet. I was so anxious to get all the good I could from the lecture that after a time I forgot all about my feet. While talking to a friend who was waiting for me at my door and telling her about the wonderful lecture, I suddenly told her I missed something. We looked for a missing parcel, but there was none; and then I realized it was the sense of pain I had missed, and I found that I was healed. I am deeply grateful for these and many other healings, but still more so for the understanding I have gained which has enabled me to overcome the errors of sense with the truth.

May God make me still more grateful, watchful, and worthy to be called a sincere disciple of Christ Jesus and of our dear Leader, whose loving, consecrated lives have brought healing and peace to the world.—(Mrs.) Elizabeth C. M. Moolman, East London, South Africa.
