Shirley Snow Hamilton

For many years I have accepted spiritual blessings and healings from reading the testimonies in the Sentinel. Now I feel it is my privilege to express my deep gratitude for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and for the many sacrifices that she made in order that mankind might utilize the great truths of God and man.

Over sixteen years ago I had a healing that was brought about by my clinging steadfastly to God and to His perfect idea, spiritual man. I had been thrown from a runaway horse and had been taken to a hospital by well-meaning friends who did not know that I was a pupil in the Christian Science Sunday School.

X-ray photographs showed a large crack in my hipbone. Kind doctors told me a life of inactivity was ahead of me if casts and medical treatments were ignored. My urgent request to be taken home was granted. A practitioner was asked for help, and work in Christian Science was taken up immediately. Within a couple of weeks I was completely healed. Since that time my life has included such active sports as water skiing, swimming, bowling, and ice skating; and I have been completely free from any aftereffects.
