Testimony of Healing February 3, 1973 Issue

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I write this testimony. I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School when a young child. When I married, I let material thinking govern me. I didn't return to Christian Science until one of my children had impetigo. I tried some material remedies. When no relief was seen, I pulled out a Sentinel I had gotten at one time. I read it that day, and the healing began. In three days all evidence of the sores was gone.

About two years ago a daughter was trying to light the pilot light in the oven, when there was an explosion. She immediately had a friend, who was visiting with her, call a Christian Science practitioner for help, as she was unable to see. The pain and swelling disappeared in about two hours, and by the next day there was no evidence of a burn except for burned eyelashes, brows, and hair, and her sight was not impaired in any way.

An outstanding illustration of God's providing was in finding a home. The house my family and I were living in was to be moved from the lot, and I was served a notice to vacate by a certain date. Houses were very difficult to find at a rent I could afford. At this time I had every afternoon off from my place of employment for two weeks because of the Christmas holidays. I spent those afternoons in a Christian Science Reading Room in prayer and study to gain a better understanding of God. Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." Before the end of the first week I was introduced to a man who said he knew of a house that would be vacant the exact day I would need it. The rent was very reasonable. This house was near the school my younger daughter attended, so it wasn't even necessary to enroll her in another school.
