Elise Pettrie Miller

I have been a student of Christian Science for twenty-five years. During this time I have had to apply it to many problems, some of which related to finances, health, friendship. Each time I proved that when Christian Science is rightly applied it solves every problem.

Once when I was talking to an advanced student of Christian Science, I was asked how I became interested in this religion. My reply was, "I guess I just drifted in," and the answer immediately was, "No, my dear, you were guided in." After thinking this statement over and looking back on some of my earlier experiences, I could see that I really was guided. Although I was very young at the time, I asked my teacher in the orthodox Sunday School I attended why we did not heal now as they did in the Bible days. The answer was that such healing was for Biblical days only. It was shortly afterwards that I began to attend the Christian Science Sunday School.

My healings and blessings have been many through the years. Two of my earliest healings were of frequent locking of my jaws and of excessive watering of my eyes. An instantaneous healing of painful leg muscles took place on a summer vacation while I was climbing a steep hill. I had instantly realized that it was only error that was trying to spoil my vacation. The truths in the first chapter of Genesis came to me very clearly, assuring me that God's child is perfect at all times and under all circumstances.
