Through studying Science and Health...

Miriam B. Clark

Through studying Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy my mother was healed of semi-invalidism. I loved what I grasped of the teachings of this textbook and was healed of a physical weakness, which a physician said I had inherited and from which I would continue to suffer for a period of years. I look back with tender memories to the time when my mother and I read in our home at the first Sunday morning Christian Science services held in our city.

This background made me desire to consecrate my life to the Cause of Christian Science, which I have done, experiencing something of the new birth, of which our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 15), "It begins with moments, and goes on with years; moments of surrender to God, of childlike trust and joyful adoption of good; moments of self-abnegation, self-consecration, heaven-born hope, and spiritual love."

I have seen many healings, both in my own experience and in that of others. Each healing teaches some great truth. One I would mention taught me the healing power of gratitude and illustrated Mrs. Eddy's statement (ibid., p. 268), "God's preparations for the sick are potions of His own qualities." When taken ill, I worked faithfully for several days according to my highest understanding of Truth, but I grew discouraged as conditions continued to weigh me down. Knowing that it was not wise to remain groping in the dark, I felt that I should call a practitioner for help. Before doing so, however, I asked God whether there was anything I had left undone that I could do. Then an angel thought told me that I could at least be grateful for all the healings I had been a witness to in the past. Immediately one healing after another came to my thought with gratitude, and I was instantaneously healed.
