Testimony of Healing April 13, 1968 Issue

Just as I reached young womanhood, my grandmother passed...

Adele Maynard

Just as I reached young womanhood, my grandmother passed on. Her death was the first of anyone near and dear to me. I felt a great shock and became terribly despondent and depressed thinking about sometime having to face the death of others I loved. I very much doubted God's existence and felt that if He did exist He wasn't much good to mankind because there seemed to be nothing but suffering in the world. I couldn't understand why I myself was here, and I felt human life was completely useless, filled with nothing but problems.

Because of this great mental depression I was unable to sleep at night and was taking a soporific, besides seven other medicines for various problems. In spite of my doubts about God, I did pray to Him all the time, for I had nowhere else to turn. My prayer was always, "Please help me." This prayer was answered, for I was guided into the study of Christian Science. It was presented to me by a friend to help my mother, who at that time was suffering from a nervous breakdown and was in a hospital.

After several weeks of study I suddenly realized that I was no longer taking the soporific and was sleeping peacefully every night. Many physical healings followed, including those of sinus trouble and constipation. I gained peace of mind, a purpose in life, and a sense of Life eternal so real that when my father passed on several years ago I was instantaneously healed of any sense of grief or loss. My mother was healed of the nervous breakdown and has also become a student of Christian Science.
