O. Alvin Hagen

It is with the prayer that others will benefit from my experience that I submit this testimony. Stomach trouble in my late teens left me in such a weakened condition that I felt I was a burden to my family. Having had religion in my home from childhood, I turned to the study of the Scriptures, feeling that the solution to my problem was there. I believed that it was possible to be healed as in Jesus' time.

Some comfort was received from attending an orthodox church, even though it left the healing of sickness entirely in the hands of the medical profession. I sought the help of several physicians who diagnosed my condition as a fallen stomach, but they were unable to remedy it.

A short time later I accepted light work from people whom I later learned were Christian Scientists. They became interested in me, and after telling me a little of Christian Science, they took me to a lecture presented by their branch church. It was my first introduction to Christian Science and was an occasion I shall never forget, for I was instantaneously healed at this lecture. I informed my friends of this healing as we left the lecture. My family was astounded at my healing and hardly recognized me on my return home.
