Christian Science heals, and...

Jean B. Burnett

Christian Science heals, and my heart sings paeans of praise and thanksgiving that I know this and have proved it many times. At one time I was healed of ptomaine poisoning. I had called a Christian Science practitioner early in the evening when the trouble first appeared, and the practitioner had said she would help me. But just before retiring I was so overwhelmed with pain that I was afraid to go to sleep; so I called her again. After several wonderful statements of truth, she closed our talk with the assurance, "Now you can go to sleep, for, remember, you rest in God."

That was my support throughout the night. As I lay down to rest, I pondered the definition of God given by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. It reads as follows (p. 465): "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love."

While thinking of what this meant, I fell asleep. Sometime during the night I awakened in pain so great that the fear of death flashed through my thought. Almost before I could think, the word Life came into my mind with such strength and assurance that I was filled with peace and went to sleep again.
