Dorcas W. Strong

I should like to express heartfelt gratitude for a healing of quinsy through Christian Science; it has proved a milestone in my journey from sense to Soul.

When a severe throat condition did not yield to my own application of the truths of Christian Science several years ago, I called upon the aid of a practitioner in another city. Although speaking and eating were very difficult for a few days, I was free from pain throughout the entire experience. One afternoon I was aware that mental surgery was taking place. There was a sound of something loosening within the throat. From that moment on, the condition began to abate, and within a very short time I was completely well.

This healing will always be associated in my thought with Mrs. Eddy's statement in Science and Health (p. 375), "The genuine Christian Scientist is adding to his patient's mental and moral power, and is increasing his patient's spirituality while restoring him physically through divine Love."

Because of the practitioner's work, the Christ, Truth, brought a needed spiritual awakening. I was roused to the necessity of denying the belief in a mind apart from God and of affirming that man is governed by the one divine Mind, God, who is all-power. Through earnest study, and with the continued help of the practitioner, I saw that since God is the only Mind there is, the belief that one mind can control another mind is a myth which never touches or harms the real man. This understanding resulted in increased spiritual strength and dominion.

During this experience the Psalmist's words (Ps. 61:2), "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I," were my constant prayer. This prayer was answered and a deep desire to serve the Cause of Christian Science fulfilled when the way opened a few months later for me to live and work within the shadow of our beloved Mother Church. My experience in Boston was rich in blessings. Now as a worker in the Field my appreciation of all the channels through which The Mother Church is making the healing truths of Christian Science available to the whole human family is ever deepening. —(Miss) Dorcas W.
