Christian Science heals

Walter G. Cowan

Christian Science heals. It is as much a Science as is the science of mathematics or the science of musical harmony. I am profoundly grateful to God that Mary Baker Eddy reinstated Christian healing and then shared it with all the world for all time by writing the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I am especially grateful for the chapter on Prayer in this textbook.

Christian Science has brought countless blessings to my family and me. I wish to tell of two healings, one of which I experienced and the other I witnessed. In 1942, after a medical examination for life insurance, I was told by the examining physician that I could not be accepted for insurance because I apparently had diabetes. I was instructed to return in several days for another test. When the second test was completed, the doctor said there was no doubt that I was suffering from diabetes. The verdict was especially disturbing to me because of the fact that my father and an uncle had passed on with this disease.

Immediately I called for help from a Christian Science practitioner, who worked for me for several months. When I again applied for life insurance, a very exhaustive medical examination showed that I was entirely free from diabetes, and I was accepted for insurance. I joyfully realized that at the same time I had also been healed of a severe case of athlete's foot.
