Una L. McAdam

I have had many beautiful proofs of the healing and protecting power of Christian Science. Years ago, when I taught school, I often needed the help of a Christian Science practitioner, and on one occasion I called on one of these dear practitioners to pray for me because my gums were badly poisoned. The next day I was on my way to her office in the city to have another talk with her when, to my astonishment, the gums suddenly began to drain. I was completely healed there and then.

One Friday evening after dinner a few years ago, when I was going to finish some renovations I was busy doing, my hand sewing machine fell on my foot. For a moment I was stunned. Then thoughts came that were comforting, and I said to myself: "There is help hand. All the faithful work I've done in Christian Science will help me now." Presently I was repeating statements of truth from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and collecting my thoughts on the Christian Science Quarterly Lesson-Sermon I had studied that morning.

I was able to overcome the severe pain in the foot, and presently I felt I was outside this picture of an accident; I was like an observer looking at one of mortal mind's spectacles, or shows, without taking part in it! That wonderful account of Elijah's experience when he learned that God was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire was a very great help to me (see I Kings 19:11, 12).
