Harriett A. Stearns

My first healing in Christian Science was that of the need for wearing glasses. Shortly thereafter I was healed of colitis and also of a scalp condition. Lost articles have been recovered and employment has been found through my demonstrating the power of Truth.

One Sunday afternoon I was taken violently ill. From the experience of a friend I knew that the condition would have been diagnosed as a ruptured appendix, and I immediately began to work in Christian Science to annul this false claim. I was unable to reach the practitioner that night, but a loving friend helped me. In the morning consecrated work was taken up by the practitioner. On the third night the pain was so intense that I could hardly think. But I clung to the statement, "God is Love." Finally I fell asleep, and upon awakening the next morning I was free from pain. The complete healing took about three weeks, but I shall never cease to be grateful to God for the spiritual growth which I experienced and for the thoughtfulness and love of those who helped me.

Daily I am grateful for the protective power of Christian Science. My desire is to increase my understanding of the truth so that my life may inspire others to avail themselves of God's goodness.
