Testimony of Healing April 1, 1950 Issue

Since my last testimony was published...

Winifred E. Amos

Since my last testimony was published, many blessings have been mine—physical healings, sufficient supply, and a continual sense of activity, vigor, and strength—by knowing that it is Spirit that sustains and invigorates man and that therefore there can be no depletion in any form.

But more than all else I am grateful for the healing, in some degree, of false traits of character, such as selfishness, intolerance, impatience, resentment, which so long held me in bondage. As these faults and others are being overcome, physical conditions have improved, for our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, has written on page 326 of the textbook, Science and Health, "Not partially, but fully, the great healer of mortal mind is the healer of the body."

The two following healings may be of help. About twelve years ago I was returning from the Channel Islands with a friend, after a storm had been raging all the previous day, and we were told that we would have a rough crossing. Much talk went on about it. I was the only Christian Scientist, so there was plenty of mental work for me to do. On reaching the boat, my friend retired to her cabin, and I decided to sit on deck. It was indeed a rough sea; the boat rolled from side to side, water washing over parts of the deck. As I sat there knowing the truth, I watched a wave rise to a great height and suddenly realized that I was governed by God's spiritual law and therefore could not be controlled by any material law; and at that moment I was healed of the fear of seasickness which had threatened me and was able to remain on deck and enjoy my sandwiches.
