Gladys M. Cracknell

Christian Science came into my life more than forty years ago through the healing of my mother of a heart condition which the doctors had said was incurable. She was healed after a practitioner had been working for her about two weeks, and since that time she has been very active both in a branch church and at home.

I was a very shy girl and had been unable to enjoy life because of the fear of mixing with people; so I was very unhappy. However, I had the great privilege of more than two years in the Christian Science Sunday School, and I just drank in all the teacher told us and accepted it with great joy. I can remember how very grateful I was to realize the truth of Jesus' words (Mark 9: 23), "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

Gradually the shyness lessened, and I became active in the branch church of which I had become a member. I have since had the great privilege of being Sunday School superintendent, clerk, Reading Room librarian, and Second Reader—evidence that to some extent self has yielded to a right sense of myself as God's reflection. This has brought great joy, and much good has unfolded to me through these activities.
