Vinnie Royer Bennett

Christian Science came into my experience many years ago, when I was longing for greater spiritual understanding. I was a member of an orthodox church, but my religion brought me neither comfort nor healing; so I turned to the study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. As my spiritual understanding increased, I experienced a greater sense of harmony.

Later I suffered from nervous indigestion. I began to lose weight and manifested extreme weakness. One day, after months of suffering, I had an internal hemorrhage, and at the insistence of my husband I was rushed to a hospital for an examination. X rays showed an advanced stage of cancer of the stomach. The verdict was given that I had only a few hours to live.

I was asked what my last request was, and I said, "I want Christian Science, and I know I shall live." A practitioner was called, and help was lovingly given at once. I felt better immediately, left the hospital, and ate dinner with my family that evening, much to their amazement.
