Mere words are inadequate to...

Helen M. Abramson

Mere words are inadequate to express my deep and sincere gratitude for Christian Science, but I should like to share with others the many blessings this beautiful religion has brought into my life. When it was presented to me I was in great need of healing of a severe case of neuritis, which physicians had been able to relieve only temporarily. At that time I was a high school teacher in a Midwestern town. In one of my classes I had a student who was suffering from the effects of injuries received in a football game. His case had exhausted the skill of many eminent physicians, and in desperation he had turned to Christian Science when friends told him of its healing power. He received an instantaneous healing upon his first visit to a practitioner and returned to school, able to participate in all activities.

Realizing my great need, this student not only told me many of the beautiful truths taught by Christian Science but made me a gift of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Later he taught me how to study the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly. The following summer I secured the help of a practitioner and was completely healed of the severe pain which I had been suffering.

In the years since then I have had many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science. Some of the healings I have experienced have been those of influenza, a sprained wrist, colds, hives, burns, headaches, indigestion, and infected teeth. Protection has been demonstrated on motor trips by my holding to Mrs. Eddy's statement in "Unity of Good" (p. 17 ), "Be allied to the deific power, and all that is good will aid your journey, as the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."

I am especially grateful for a healing I experienced several years ago when I visited Mrs. Eddy's home at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, while I was attending an Annual Meeting of The Mother Church. As the hostess gathered our group together preparatory to conducting us through the home she made a statement referring to the true home as constituted of spiritual substance. This statement so illumined my thought that I was healed of hemorrhages, which over a period of years had failed to yield to my own work or to that of several practitioners who had worked for me at different times.

Membership in The Mother Church and a branch church, class instruction, the yearly association meetings, and activity in church work, including that of serving as Second Reader, fill my heart with deepest gratitude to God. I am profoundly grateful for all the activities provided for in the Manual of The Mother Church by our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, whose purity, consecration, and courage enabled her to receive the revelation of Truth and give it to the world.— (Miss) Helen M. Abramson, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
