Testimony of Healing September 14, 1968 Issue

The testimonies in the periodicals have been an inspiration to me...

Betty Louise Marvel with contributions from Helen K. Kennedy

The testimonies in the periodicals have been an inspiration to me for many years. I am so grateful for them that I would like to add my word of praise for the truth that heals.

Many years ago when I was in boarding school preparing for college, my father passed on. At that time, during the depression of the thirties, my mother took up the study of Christian Science, and through her I too became interested. We did not have much money, but my mother, through the help of Science, got a job and I continued in school. The following year I entered the college I had planned to attend. After that year it seemed I could not afford to go on there, so I stayed at home the next year and with the aid of a scholarship went to a college in the city where I was living.

All this time we were praying in Science to know that God was directing me and that I was always in my right place. I still had a strong desire to go back to the college where I had started as a freshman. My mother and I worked with a practitioner, who told us that God's plan for me was always unfolding. It wasn't long before the practitioner told us that a friend had come to his office to ask him if he knew of a worthy Christian Science girl who could use a scholarship he had set up at the very college to which I wanted to return. This seemed like a miracle at the time because I didn't understand the perfection of God's work and plan.
