Testimony of Healing January 26, 1963 Issue

Since my testimony appeared in...

Doris M. Holton

Since my testimony appeared in the Sentinel some years ago, my family and I have received further healings. I cherish the healings of character even more than the physical ones. It has been such a comfort to be able to work out all my problems with the knowledge that Christian Science is a demonstrable religion and is indeed the Comforter promised by our Master, Christ Jesus.

Mrs. Eddy says in the textbook, Science and Health (p. 12), "In divine Science, where prayers are mental, all may avail themselves of God as 'a very present help in trouble.'" This truth was proved to me when I was traveling in the United States with my daughter some years ago. We had been staying with a friend who is a Christian Science practitioner, and when we left her home we had planned to stop off in Washington for a day's sight-seeing on our way back to New York, where we were to join the boat to return home.

We had been on the train for only about an hour when my daughter complained of feeling very ill. She had a severe throat infection, and as the journey continued she became more distressed until I was quite panic-stricken. I began to wonder what we should do if my daughter became too ill to sail, and we had to stay in New York without sufficient dollars to see us through. I wondered if a telegram asking for Christian Science treatment could be sent off to the friend whom we had just left.
