Fairy B. Weeks

It was not a desire for physical healing but for a knowledge of God which led me to Christian Science. One whom I heard repeat the ninety-first Psalm and say, "God is Love," expressed so much spiritual understanding that I asked her how she had learned to understand the Bible as she did and if she had other books to help her. She lovingly told me about our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and lent me a copy. After reading only a few pages I knew that its truths were what I had been seeking.

During my first reading of Science and Health I was instantaneously healed of headaches which were so severe that sometimes I almost lost consciousness. I realized that pain was a belief of mortal mind and that I was in reality an idea of the one immortal divine Mind. I was at once completely free, and there has never been a return of the headaches.

At that time we were living on an Army post, my husband being in the service. One day after school our eldest daughter was the last to get into the Army truck that was used for a school bus. The motor stalled, causing the truck to jerk, and she fell out. The street was on an incline, and the truck rolled back, one wheel passing over both of her ankles. A soldier riding in the back jumped out in time to see this. He was very much frightened and wanted to take her to a hospital, but she begged to be taken home; so someone with a car brought her home.
