Florence Watson

I am more thankful than I can say for my awakening to Christian Science, for all the healings, physical and moral, which have followed, and for those witnessed. Some of these mortal dreams are indeed in the nature of nightmares of illness, lack, and inharmony.

I should like to tell of a quick and complete healing of lumbago, a complaint to which I was very subject. I awoke one morning unable to move, held as it were in a vise by acute pains extending all over my body. When Science and Health was put into my hands I read for about twenty minutes, and at the end of that time I arose and dressed, entirely free, with not a vestige of the pain remaining.

Some years ago I was also subject to a painful affliction of the jaw. The trouble would yield somewhat to mental work and then would get worse again, so that at times I could scarcely open my mouth. My daughter, then a pupil in the Christian Science Sunday School, did faithful mental work for me one night. When I went into her room the next morning I put my hand to my face with an exclamation of pain, and she said, "I was positive I had seen the truth about it and you as God's perfect idea expressing perfection." I replied, "Then it is healed, for we cannot take, or use, the name of the Lord in vain." With these words the condition instantly disappeared and has never returned.
