Healing of burns overcomes prejudice

Gladys M. Perrow

Jesus said (Matt. 11:28), "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Christian Science has fulfilled this promise of our Master in my experience by giving me health, happiness, freedom from bondage to material so-called laws, and true rest and peace for over thirty years.

When Christian Science was first mentioned to me. I thought I would be the last person in the world to accept its teachings, since I had been brought up in a very strict orthodox home where Christian Science and the name of Mary Baker Eddy were not allowed to be mentioned.

About four years after our marriage, when my husband began the study of Christian Science for physical healing, I was still very much prejudiced against what I thought this religion was. However, a year after he had received a wonderful healing through this truth, I incurred severe burns one morning while preparing breakfast. I was in such pain that I was willing to reach out for any remedy to gain relief. So when my husband wanted to read to me from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I consented. In half an hour all pain had gone, and I was again attending to my usual household duties. This healing was complete, with no scars.
