Peter P. La Cally

Not long after becoming interested in Christian Science more than forty-five years ago, I was healed of the use of profanity, which I had thought of as a normal part of my vocabulary. Also the habits of smoking and of using intoxicating liquor were overcome. After an attack of inflammatory rheumatism had made me helpless for two weeks, I called a practitioner listed in The Christian Science Journal. Within an hour I was free, and I have remained so.

The most remarkable healing I have received was that of severe deafness, with which I had been afflicted ever since boyhood, when I suffered a fractured skull. An ear specialist said my case was hopeless because my eardrums were badly scarred, and that very shortly I would not hear at all. However, after I became interested in Science, I read the testimonies in the periodicals which told of many remarkable healings, and I was convinced that I also could be healed. I endeavored to live a better and more loving life, to be more thoughtful of others, and to set my thoughts upon God and His love for His child.

One of the things that helped me most was "the scientific statement of being," which appears on page 468 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. With it and other truths I persevered until I became more spiritually-minded. Soon I found myself hearing somewhat better on occasion, but only for short periods. Even this much hearing was very encouraging, however.
