Testimony of Healing February 13, 1971 Issue

Christian Science was introduced to me by an insurance agent...

Frank Woodall

Christian Science was introduced to me by an insurance agent who used to call at our home before the Second World War. At that time I had had to leave my employment because of nervous fatigue, palpitation of the heart, and other nervous disorders, including a bad speech impediment, which made it very difficult for me to converse with people. I would avoid meeting people rather than try to talk with them.

Although I sometimes attended Christian Science church services, borrowed books from the library, and read Christian Science literature, it was quite two years later that I took up the study of Christian Science seriously, and then only after it became clear to me that the exercises and diet method of healing I was then practicing had failed to restore my health.

One evening while in a distressed state of mind, with suicidal thoughts recurring, I remembered to return a book I had borrowed from the local branch church Reading Room. Two women were on duty. One spoke to me about Christian Science and asked me to try it as she thought I was at the stage where I needed it and was ready for it. Thinking I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, I decided to dc this. I gave up the exercise and diet routine and relied on Christian Science.
