Testimony of Healing January 1, 1966 ISSUE

In this testimony it is my desire...

Kathryn Bork Blomquist

In this testimony it is my desire to bear witness to a healing' by means of mental surgery alone and to express my deepest gratitude for it. I was working on the grounds outside my house when I injured my hand and arm. The pain was severe, but I just sat down, resting quietly while repeating "the scientific statement of being" from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The statement is on page 468 and begins, "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter."

I knew what those words really meant. Although as the healing progressed there was great discomfort at times, the severe pain ceased and never returned. There were apparently breakages in the hand, wrist, and arm.

I immediately asked a practitioner to give me treatment; and truths from our beloved textbook, Science and Health, were at once declared and steadfastly maintained. My love for Christian Science and my conviction of God's efficacy to heal kept me free from fear.

Almost at once after treatment was begun, I felt the healing taking place. Then one day I felt a snap in my elbow and found I could comfortably move the elbow back and forth. The other parts of the hand, wrist, and arm resumed their natural shape and appearance, all swelling gone.

As a Christian Science nurse I was called on a case which required me to lift the patient among my other duties, and I was able to do all that it was necessary for me to do. Here I was reminded to hold to the statement of our Leader in the textbook (p. 89 ), "We are all capable of more than we do."

I continued being active in the nursing field with the support of the practitioner, without anyone knowing anything of my injuries besides the practitioner and two fellow church members, until the complete healing took place and I expressed gratitude for it at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. The healing took about one month.

I am grateful for the work of the practitioner, and I wish to express my gratitude for our revered Leader and her gift to mankind, Christian Science.—(Mrs.) Kathryn Bork Blomquist, Yorktown Heights, New York.
