For the glorious gift of Christian Science...

Marcia Lee Beardsell

For the glorious gift of Christian Science I shall be grateful always. In my college experience I am finding many opportunities to use the truths which have been taught me in the Christian Science Sunday School.

One morning I woke manifesting symptoms of influenza. I turned my thought to God, as we are taught to do in Sunday School, and realized that God's child cannot be touched by any thing but goodness. Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, p. 216), "If man is governed by the law of divine Mind, his body is in submission to everlasting Life and Truth and Love." I knew that this truth applies to everyone, including me, my friends, and all mankind. By four o'clock that day I was completely well and on my way to do an errand before going to supper.

An earlier healing took place while I was in high school. A painful difficulty with my back manifested itself and did not yield to my understanding of Christian Science. A practitioner was called, and in our conversation it was brought out that I was not getting along harmoniously with a member of my family. It was made clear that this inharmony was being manifested on my body.
