Christian Science was introduced...

Adeline L. Knoell

Christian Science was introduced into my home when I was a little girl through my mother's healing of what had been diagnosed as an incurable case of stomach and bowel trouble. The doctors had given her a very short time to live, and in her extremity she turned to Christian Science for help. She was healed completely within a few weeks' time. Little wonder that she lost all faith in material means of healing and decided to place her complete trust in God. Thereafter Christian Science treatment was depended on for all my needs, and it healed me of measles, scarlet fever, bronchitis, colds, sprains, and bruises.

After we had been interested in this Science for a few years, problems arose in the home which weighed heavily on my mother's shoulders. Desiring to bring some happiness to her, and knowing that an effort on my part to learn more about God would do just this, I decided to read the Christian Science literature during my spare time. Prior to this I had studied under protest. Within a short time I found myself looking forward to the minutes that I could spend in reading, and I became seriously interested in it. Shortly after this I lived for two years in a home with dear friends, both of whom were practitioners. I shall never cease to be grateful for this privilege, because the experience meant much to me in my spiritual progress. During this time I was healed of a very serious case of influenza, and it was proved to me again that Christian Science saves from death.

Healings followed one another in quick succession. Every day was filled with proofs of God's care. Business difficulties were solved, physical and financial problems were overcome, and traits of character corrected. Many of these healings were instantaneous, others required more love and patience on my part before freedom was realized. As I continued to study the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, together with her other writings, I found the truth about God and man becoming clearer to me, and I was able to work out my own problems with very little help from others.
