Words cannot express my gratitude for Christian Science

Lilian Elizabeth Ford

Words cannot express my gratitude for Christian Science. As I look on God as my Physician, it is He to whom I go with all my troubles.

I would like to tell of a healing I had of rheumatoid arthritis. It is now some years ago that I had pain in one of my arms, and within a few days the pain claimed the whole of my body. Walking became difficult, and my hands were useless. There was no thought in my consciousness as to what it could be, but a relative said it was plain to recognize and mentioned the disease named above. Although fear tried to take possession of me, I did not accept it. My only thought was, "How am I to take care of my husband's needs?"

Turning to God for help, the words came so imperatively, "Telephone Mountlands." Knowing this was a command of my loving Father-Mother God, I immediately obeyed, and within three days I was admitted to this Christian Science House. Never shall I forget the love and care bestowed upon me there, together with the loving help of a Christian Science practitioner during this time. In two weeks my health had improved. Although the outward evidence of the disease was still visible, my daily progress was marked and was an inspiration to all. After a stay of one month in this House, I returned to my home, and with further help from another faithful Christian Science practitioner in my own locality, I was able to carry on the duties of my home alone.
