Pearl Gootrad

Christian Science is the religion of Love, of giving and sharing. For many years I have received abundant divine blessings, and with a heart full of gratitude I should now like to share some of the healings that have taken place in my experience over a period of years.

With the help of a practitioner my son was healed of a deep gash on the sole of his foot caused by stepping on a piece of tin. The cut would doubtless have required numerous stitches under medical treatment. I was healed of quinsy and of badly chapped hands. These healings have been permanent.

In Science and Health our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, writes (p. 392), "Stand porter at the door of thought." Some time ago I failed to do this, and I allowed erroneous suggestions to enter my consciousness and take control of me. I suddenly found myself in a deplorable condition, suffering from a nervous breakdown. All desire for food left me; I slept very little and wept almost constantly. The suggestion of suicide was always with me.
