Testimony of Healing July 8, 1967 Issue

I wish to express my gratitude for Christ Jesus, our great Exemplar...

R. Ellen Haenchen with contributions from Thelma Dyke

I wish to express my gratitude for Christ Jesus, our great Exemplar and Way-shower, and for Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

This religion was presented to my family through the gift of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. One of my sisters was healed of a hip injury after having treatment by a Christian Science practitioner. My mother was healed with the help of a practitioner of a cancerous growth for which the medical doctor could offer no help except by an operation. One of my sons was healed by the work of the same practitioner of the disease previously diagnosed by physicians as osteomyelitis. Their verdict was that he would probably lose his arm but that if it was saved it would be useless. By absolute reliance on the power of God it was completely healed and has given him many years of normal service.

A more recent healing, brought about by my own application of the truth, was that of a cut finger. Because the nail was also cut, I taped the finger to hold the nail together, all the while declaring the truths that man is God's image and likeness and is held in His love. I experienced no pain and continued my activities, using my hand in dishwater and in doing other household work as usual. After the second day I removed the tape and found the nail smooth and perfect, the healing complete.
