Reading testimonies in a Sentinel introduced me to Christian Science, and I am impelled now to send an account of some of my experiences in the hope that they may be helpful to others. For over twenty-five years Science has been my only physician. I have had many healings, among them those of an ulcerated tooth, hemorrhoids, quinsy, headaches, colds, boils, and painful swelling in both of my feet and my legs. The healing of this last condition freed me from a belief in heredity. Freedom from grief at the passing on of loved ones was experienced also. Some of these healings came through the help of practitioners, others through my own work.

I should like to relate a healing effected by my own understanding of Truth. One night I awakened with an excruciating pain above the eye. Being miles from a telephone, I could not call for help. The following words from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy came to my consciousness (p. 233): "The utterance of truth is designed to rebuke and destroy error." I realized that since God knows nothing of pain, as His child I did not manifest it. With that I fell asleep.

However, later I awakened with an even more severe pain. I thought again of the above-mentioned message and saw that I had rebuked the error in declaring the truth and that now I had an opportunity to destroy it. In expressing gratitude for freedom from fear through the realization that divine Love is ever present, I went to sleep. When I awoke, the pain was gone, and it has never again presented itself.
