Lillie B. Hindman

Twenty-seven years ago I was told by the doctors that I had hemorrhage of the stomach and that if I did not set medical help, I would not live long. I turned away from them and decided to try Christian Science, having read some authorized literature that had been given me. Knowing that I could not continue in the condition I was in, I called a friend to come and tell me something about Christian Science. When I asked her if I could be healed, she replied that I could.

Absent treatment was requested from a practitioner, and I soon dropped off to sleep. In about an hour I awoke free from pain. When I asked my friend what had happened to me, she replied, "You received a healing." I had never felt better in my life. I asked her if I could eat something, and she said that she would prepare breakfast for me. However, I told her that since I was healed, I would prepare it myself. I prepared and ate a hearty meal, something I had not been able to do when I had the stomach trouble.

The healing deeply impressed me, and I asked my friend how it had come about. She said that after I had read the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I would know. She obtained the textbook for me, and I read it day and night till I had read it through. The teachings in it were so different from what I had been taught that I grasped very little of their meaning till I started reading the textbook again; then I began to understand it.
