Testimony of Healing June 4, 1949 Issue

Smoking habit overcome, and habit of sick headaches

Elizabeth A. McLellan

I first became interested in Christian Science through reading the testimonies in Sentinels brought to my home by a kind neighbor. Since these testimonies were all I seemed to be able to understand at first, they meant much to me.

At this time I was recovering from a major operation. I had been told that I would have to undergo another operation as soon as I was strong enough. The time was set for me to enter the hospital when I decided to wait a while and investigate Christian Science first, thinking, as one member of the family expressed it, "There may be something to this Science after all." I never did have the operation, but instead began teaching school in less than a month.

When I married, we lived several miles from any Church of Christ, Scientist, and since my husband was not interested in Science, I found myself drifting away from daily study of the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and from church attendance. When a serious ailment developed, I had Science treatment for a while, but when there was no evidence of improvement, I consented to do as the family wished and have medical care. After a year's experience with the doctor I was much worse than when I started and was informed that although I would have to undergo an operation to live, I would never be well. I then took my radical stand for Christian Science, and after two months' treatment from a friend and practitioner I was healed and have never had a return of the trouble.
