Testimony of Healing February 7, 1942 ISSUE

It is with a deep sense of gratitude...

Virgil H. Schenck

It is with a deep sense of gratitude for the healing and redemptive powers of Christian Science that I offer this testimony. I am particularly grateful for my healing of the tobacco habit, which had enslaved me for about fifteen years. Ever since I began the study of Christian Science I had desired to be free from this habit, but it was not until I was thinking of joining a branch church that, having made the statement that I expected to quit smoking very soon, the question presented itself, Why are you waiting? From that time forth I have not smoked, and although the desire for tobacco persisted for some time, I finally overcame it, with the help of another student of this Science, and I was free.

Through the study and application of Christian Science I was able to make what proved to be a very satisfactory business connection at a time when the so-called depression seemed most severe. The position which was offered me was a minor one and included a very small salary, but through the months of unemployment which had preceded this offer, such a sense of humility and gratitude had been developed in me that I was able to accept it in a spirit of thankfulness that I could be of service to someone else. The business has grown and prospered to an extent that could not have been foreseen and has proved a blessing to others as well as myself. This experience is a definite proof to me that when we permit divine Mind to guide us we always find that which is good and needful and right.
