Elmer Wilson Engle

Through an understanding of God I have been healed of chronic constipation and many other ills as I studied "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and the other writings by Mary Baker Eddy. I have also had many healings with the help of practitioners. There is one healing that I should like to tell about in particular.

Several years ago I had a stomach condition which gave me a great deal of pain and trouble from time to time. During this period I was employed by the government, and my work involved long, hard work on fast-moving trains. At times I could eat only a little broth and crackers before making my run. I had help from practitioners and would get temporary relief, but the condition recurred. I know now it was my fear and lack of understanding of the truth of perfect God and perfect man that caused the recurrence.

The truth of Jesus' statement (John 8:32), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," was proven to me one night when I was on the road. I was nearing the end of my run to Omaha, Nebraska, and was seized with one of the most severe attacks I had experienced. When I reached my hotel room, I got the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings out of my suitcase and tried to work the problem out myself. Since this was around two o'clock in the morning, I hesitated to call a practitioner at that hour, but I could see no other way.
