Byron B. Haviland

Plagued with a so-called incurable disease, I was directed, in 1906, to the subject of Christian Science. I obtained a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Previous to that time all orthodox religions I had known indicated or stated directly that the reward of heaven must come, if at all, after death. As such teaching did not appeal to me, I had no serious attraction to or interest in any church organization.

Imagine, if you can, my joy when I opened the above-mentioned book and realized the importance, the power, of the first line of the Preface, which reads: "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." A reward in the ever-present now! Here, for the first time, I found a promise that as I thought and lived today, so was my reward today. The realization of what that promise means was so great that I found I was healed of Bright's disease, which was the medical diagnosis of my difficulty.

From that day to this, Christian Science has been my only physician. I have experienced many healings by relying wholly on Christian Science. Some of these were broken bones and overcoming the effects of carbon monoxide gas, burns, seasickness, boils, and infection. Added to these, the false sense of lack has been replaced with ample supply. Once while I was peering into the furnace in my home, an explosion occurred, badly burning my face. With treatment through prayer by a devoted student of Christian Science, I was soon free from any sense of pain, and a complete healing followed in a few days.
