I gratefully testify to the healing truth of Christian Science

Dorcas Funnell

I gratefully testify to the healing truth of Christian Science. I was brought up in the Church of England. Afterwards I joined another church, but I felt I did not gain my spiritual food.

When my boy was two years old he developed glandular trouble. I tried every material means I possibly could for him for two years. He had gone through a course of injections with one doctor, and another doctor said the gland must be removed, as it was tubercular. While waiting in the hospital for the operation to take place I came in contact with a Christian Scientist, who gave me a Christian Science Sentinel. I read it, and thought how beautiful and how wonderful those lovely articles were. I was so taken up with it that I read it again and again; I felt it was exactly what I had been seeking. It was certainly the "Life that maketh all things new" to me. A fortnight later I had a telegram asking me to fetch my boy from the hospital, as he was getting better. I asked them why they had not operated, and if they thought an operation was not necessary. The doctor told me that a diseased gland could not get better without an operation, but that as the boy seemed to be improving they had decided not to operate then. I felt very much disheartened.
