Emily G. Moulton

Christian Science has been inspiration, comfort, wise counselor, and greatest blessing for many years. There were many physical healings in our large family. However, the unfoldment of spiritual truths destroying the materialism in human thought has always meant more to me than my own physical healings; and I rejoice that apparent afflictions and vicissitudes have only forced me to accept and use the great truths of Christian Science, lifting thought to a larger extent above material conditions and personal sense.

A form of hay fever was overcome when I resisted the temptation to throw out the bouquet of flowers which had seemed to bring me discomfort. Instead, I pondered the sentence in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which reads p. 508), "The only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it." I learned to love flowers right then, and ever since they have given me much pleasure.

At the close of the camp season one summer when I was serving as camp director, it seemed that one of my hip sockets had become injured in some way. Although I thought I was applying Christian Science in the months that followed, I saw, eventually, that my tendency was to declare the truth and then confer with material sense. I learned, too, that wondering and worrying about the condition got me exactly nowhere. A ready self diagnosis simply made the days run into weeks and prolonged the awakening. Then one day, eleven months after the injury, I was instantly healed!
