Bernice D. Yeakey

For all that Christian Science has meant to my family and me, I should like to express my deep gratitude through the Sentinel.

About ten years ago I was much in need of something I did not possess, and I decided to take up the study of Christian Science. My first healing was an outstanding one. I had had one hemorrhage after another and had fainted five times in one morning; the last time I was in "the valley of the shadow of death." I am grateful that I had no fear and was receptive to Truth, for I had no understanding of it at that time. In a few days I was up and heard a Christian Science lecture for the first time, and truly was lifted up "unto the mount."

Another healing stands out, and I should like to tell of it. In the early fall of 1938, my son, who was fifteen years old, had a severe mental trouble. A member of the family took him to a physician, who said that the trouble might have been caused by a blow on the head or by a number of things, including heredity, and that the boy would probably continue to get worse. I knew that there was a solution, and that it could be found only in Christian Science. I called for help from a practitioner, and the boy went to sleep and slept all day and night, after going three nights and days without sleep.
