Over twenty years ago I became interested in Christian Science...
Over twenty years ago I became interested in Christian Science through the healing of a sister who was brought back from "the valley of the shadow of death" by absent treatment in Christian Science. I was very reluctant to acknowledge this healing, for I believed it to be something which had just happened and would not last. Her healing did last, however, and my physical need was so great that I finally consented to have Christian Science treatment. I told the practitioner that I was a Baptist and always would be. I explained to her my belief that the soul was in the body like a bird in a cage, and was amazed that she did not believe this. I expressed my gratitude for and my satisfaction with the help that had been given me by a specialist along a certain line, and assured her nothing more could be done. She told me that some day I would be able to read without glasses, which I had worn since childhood. To prove her wrong, I took them off when I got home and certainly suffered the consequences. When I told her what had occurred, she said: "You cannot dictate to God! When the time comes, you will know it." It did come, and I had a most beautiful healing.
Self-love, self-praise, self-pity, self-will, self-justification,—this practitioner was brave enough to undertake to break down. For years I had been under the care of physicians and specialists for an internal trouble. During part of that time I was afraid to drink water and often cried because of thirst. Temporary relief was all that medical science could offer, but when I sought help in Christian Science I was healed instantaneously. I have been healed also of various forms of poisoning, broken bones, headaches of years' standing, fear, discouragement, grief, and many other evils. I obtained a splendid position entirely through the application of Christian Science. My life has been transformed and made worth while.
Membership in The Mother Church and a branch church, class instruction, Sunday school teaching and other church activities have brought untold blessings, for which I can never be grateful enough. The Christian Science Monitor is a refuge from the storm of fear and disaster portrayed in many other periodicals, while the study of the Bible together with our textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, leads us to God. I would gladly endeavor to enlarge every channel through which Christian Science is reaching the world today so that the healing streams of Truth and Love might flow more freely.
