Christian Science means more to...

F. Virginia Evans

Christian Science means more to me every day, and each day I am more grateful for the understanding that God has given me of Himself. This Science came to me in answer to an earnest prayer for something that would never change, that I could depend upon, and that would show me the true path of Life. Science has met my need. Not only has it given me the understanding of Life which I sought, but it has also healed me of disease and bad traits of character.

One physical healing which I had when first interested in Science was that of a carbuncle on the back of my neck. Doctors said that there was only one way to remove the carbuncle, and that was to cut it out. I knew enough about Science then to know that this was not God's way, and when I returned home that evening I called a Christian Science practitioner for help, which was lovingly given. The next morning the carbuncle opened, drained, and disappeared by the ever-operative law of divine Mind.

I recall also a healing of resentment or envy. I had a new job and was trying very hard to make a success of it when the company I worked for employed another girl who was qualified to do the same type of work that I was doing. One day in discussing our work the other employee said, "If I had that machine you are using, I could get this work out faster." Instantly something welled up within me and I thought, Well, you won't get it; I want to do better work than you do; it's my job or yours. It was as though something outside of me took possession of my thought; it surprised me and startled me so much that for a moment I was frightened. I was also amazed, because until then I had always thought I was rather unselfish and a little bit generous. Immediately I went to work mentally to overcome this error, with the result that a right, harmonious place worked out for both of us.
