Emma Kerns

My introduction to Christian Science came through a neighbor, who said that she had had several operations and had been in the hospital for months at a time, but had received no benefit. Then through the aid of Christian Science she had experienced a remarkable healing.

My husband and I agreed that if Christian Science could bring about such a wonderful change in her, it could help me. After years of suffering from liver and kidney trouble, together with complications resulting from it, I did not know a well day. For several years I could not eat anything that contained acid. In addition I suffered from neuralgia.

My first visit to a Christian Science practitioner was a memorable experience. She talked lovingly about God, telling me that it was not His will for anyone to be sick and that it is our birthright to be well and happy and to take our place in the world. She told me that I could go home and eat anything I wanted and that it would not hurt me. I proved her words true that night, for I ate tomatoes with salt, something I had not done for more than five years. I felt no ill effects and have ever since continued to eat without discomfort anything I wished. That healing occurred in 1912.
