Testimony of Healing October 20, 1945 Issue

Through my study of the Bible...

Mary J. Owens

Through my study of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, God has healed me of many discordant conditions, for which I am deeply thankful.

I first heard of Christian Science when I was a young girl. Later, while a student nurse in a hospital, I was invited to and attended a Christian Science lecture. After I had practiced a number of years as a registered nurse, Christian Science was again presented to me. Thus, a little later, at a time of extreme pain and injury to a knee, caused by a hard fall, I naturally turned to God, not only for healing but also to gain a fuller, holier concept of Life, God. The patient I was caring for at the time insisted upon my having a doctor and I did, but the knee became more painful after his treatments. The wife of my patient, a class-taught student of Christian Science, lent the textbook to me, and I read avidly every possible moment; she also related experiences and healings to me which I drank in eagerly.

After a few days I dismissed the doctor, although physically I was no better, and stood firmly for Truth, since which time I have never employed any material remedies. The healing of the injured knee was slow but permanent. Later I discovered that I had been healed of constipation and a desire for intoxicants while this healing was taking place.
