Testimony of Healing September 27, 1958 Issue

My first healing in Christian Science...

Aner D. Littlepage

My first healing in Christian Science was that of arthritis in my knee. It had become so painful that I could remain on my feet for only about fifteen minutes at a time. I had several expensive inoculations while under medical treatment, but I got no relief. I decided then to turn to spiritual means for healing.

I was so helped by my first visit with a Christian Science practitioner that I began to study the Bible and also Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, to read the Lesson-Sermon, given in the Christian Science Quarterly, and to attend services regularly in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. At the end of one month I was completely free. That was seven years ago, and there has been no recurrence of the difficulty. I also had a healing of grief at the time of the passing on of a loved one. I am very grateful for this healing and for the overcoming of loneliness.

One day while on duty at school I sprained my ankle. I tried to work it out alone, but I did not get relief from the excruciating pain; so I called a practitioner to do prayerful work for me. She assured me that there are no accidents in divine Mind, that God's law is a law of perfection, and that no imperfection can be expressed in perfection.
