[Original testimony in French]

In Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy...

In Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy we read (p. 224): "The power of God brings deliverance to the captive. No power can withstand divine Love." Each experience through which we pass with our hand in God's brings us progress, for we learn to know and love Him more; and it also gives us a sense of gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, who taught us how we can rely entirely on God.

At the age of fourteen, our son was seized with serious illnesses, first St. Vitus's dance and then infantile paralysis. I placed him immediately in God's care, knowing that "in him we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). The burden was quite hard to bear, and I asked for the help of a practitioner. My fear disappeared when I saw that it is simply mortal mind which fears; that I am the child of God with implicit confidence in good; that I and mine live in divine Love where everything is good and harmonious.

During the first month the boy cried every night. Without asking him what was troubling him, I would take him in my arms and declare the truth to him until he became quiet. Then, taking no notice of error, I would go into another room where I would read Science and Health and the ninety-first Psalm in the Bible until I felt at one with God. When I was calm, and a sweet peace enveloped me, I would return to our son, to find he had fallen asleep.
