Testimony of Healing October 11, 1941 Issue

Florence Rockenbaugh

Ever since I can remember I have been seeking to understand God and to serve in His name. In 1910 I entered a training school for nurses, to prepare to help in alleviating sickness and suffering. My training gave me a wide experience in caring for sickness and suffering, but failed completely to give me any satisfaction and peace. I never ceased praying to God for understanding that I might heal as His Son, Christ Jesus, healed.

After four years of private nursing duty I was taken seriously ill. My physician called in two eminent doctors for consultation. They decided there was nothing that could be done for me, that I might live three days. Knowing my faith in God, my physician gave me the diagnosis, but I refused to believe it. That evening a friend came to see me. She asked me what I thought God was. I did not want to tell her, because I had found no one in my past experience who felt about God as I did. She lovingly told me what Christian Science taught about God. I shall never forget my joy, for I knew that I had found my God, divine Principle.

Christian Science treatment was given. I went to sleep and awakened the following morning completely healed. After this healing and the consecrated study of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was healed of fibroid tumor, misplaced vertebra, chronic headaches and constipation of years' standing, the need of wearing glasses, and many other physical difficulties. Christian Science has taught me that the only diagnosis is the truth that we are one with God, and that Christ is the physician which heals all mankind.
