When Christian Science came...

When Christian Science came to me, in answer to an earnest prayer to God for help, the future did not look very bright. My acceptance of Science, however, and my earnest desire to put the truth it teaches into daily practice, changed the whole course of my life, and the years since then have been full of joy and blessings.

I have had many physical healings. One which I wish to relate took place in church. One Sunday morning I can only remember opening the door to leave for church. The next moment I found myself lying at the bottom of the stairs, regaining consciousness and declaring out loud, "God is my Life." My husband, who had been waiting for me in our car, was helping me to rise and declaring with me the truth, "God is my Life." Although it seemed impossible for me to think, we drove to church. I strove earnestly to grasp what was being read. The subject of the Lesson was "Truth," and as the service progressed the pain in my head lessened and it was easier for me to hold it up. After the service I obtained the help of a practitioner, and took my place in the Sunday school. That Sunday the children did most of the talking and we had a good session. When I arrived home all pain was gone and that evening we kept a dinner engagement.

The next Thursday I had a permanent wave, and a few days afterward my sister, who is a medical nurse, was running her hand through my hair when she stopped suddenly at the base of my skull and asked, "When did you fracture your skull?" I then, gratefully, acknowledged my healing in Christian Science.
