When I first heard of Christian Science...

Erna Marie Favre

When I first heard of Christian Science I was in great need of physical healing. I did not believe that the happiness of good health could be mine, but I was longing for a guiding rule, something to cling to in my life. A friend told me about Christian Science and lent me the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

When I read the first chapter, it seemed as though a window had been opened, and the light of Truth was pouring in. I read the book every spare moment I had, and after four days I noticed that I had not been taking any pills or powders in that time. Previously I had taken headache powders every morning, a sleeping tablet every evening, and other medicines in between. A severe case of migraine, from which I had suffered, disappeared and has not recurred. Since then I have experienced many blessings and healings; among the latter are those of an inflamed tooth, burns, influenza, and sciatica.

Some years ago, when traveling, I had a serious accident. According to the police report, I was knocked down by a car and thrown several yards behind it onto the hard roadway.
