Testimony of Healing July 22, 1939 Issue

It was not until I had experienced much unhappiness...

Edith J. Nelson

It was not until I had experienced much unhappiness that I was ready to turn to Christian Science, although I knew of it when I was a small child, through a healing in our home.

I attended church for several months, refraining from buying the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, because my eyesight was so impaired that I had given up reading almost entirely. However, my desire to study finally prevailed, and words cannot describe the unfoldment that came to me in the months following. Almost immediately after I began reading, I laid aside my glasses, and have never needed them since.

We have had many wonderful healings in our home, some through our own understanding of Science and some with the help of practitioners. One day, as I started down the basement stairs, I tripped and fell. I struck my forehead on the concrete floor, and one shoulder and wrist were badly injured. I could not rise, and it was difficult for me to remain conscious. But as I was falling, I had declared, "God is All," and I continued to declare the truth. In a short time I was able to return upstairs, and go on with my work.
