"Bless the Lord, O my soul: and...

"Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name" (Ps. 103:1).It is with a heart full of gratitude to God for Christian Science that I submit this testimony. For many years now Christian Science has brought peace, joy, and healing into our home; and for this I am very grateful. I can truthfully testify to the fact that Christian Science does indeed heal.

Some of the healings we have been privileged to witness in our home are those of pneumonia, pleurisy, whooping cough, chicken pox, coughs and colds, carache, and the effects of accidents. Healings of scarlet fever and influenza took place overnight, and measles were healed in one day. This last condition manifested itself on our daughter the first day of our annual holiday. We were staying at a boardinghouse, and I knew that the measles must be met quickly or we must return home. My husband and I worked to realize the child's spiritual inseparability from God. We saw quite clearly that as a reflection of God she was in reality untouched by the material condition and that she could transmit only good to others. The healing was complete, and we all had a most enjoyable fortnight by the sea. How very grateful we were for this healing and for the consciousness of God's power and presence which came with it.

Another child was playing at "dressing-up" one day. She draped herself in a curtain, which somehow caught fire and burned and blistered her about the hands and face. We quickly got in touch with a practitioner, who faithfully worked for the child. The incident had happened just before her bedtime, and through the consecrated work done by the practitioner she was able to go to bed and to sleep soundly through the night. This seemed wonderful to me. The next day she played as usual, and nothing more was said about the burns. Very soon the blisters were healed, leasing no scars. A friend who had called at the time of the incident had begged us to take the child to the hospital, saying that otherwise she would be scarred for life. However, we knew that in asking for Christian Science treatment we had placed the child in God's care and all would be well. And it was.
