My brother was healed of tuberculosis with Christian Science...

Eleanor S. Farrell

My brother was healed of tuberculosis with Christian Science treatment after he had been given up by physicians. At the time of his healing I was still a child. For several years after that wonderful experience we attended services at the local Church of Christ, Scientist. We moved to another state in a rural area, where there was no church to attend. Even though we joined and became active in a local Protestant church, we had a deep love for what we had learned in Christian Science in the earlier years.

As a wife and mother, because my husband and children were very precious to me, I wanted to give them the best. I knew I could find it in Christian Science. Then we moved to a city, and as soon as I could qualify for membership in the branch church located there and in The Mother Church, I joined both. This involved not only relying on God for physical healing but being healed of smoking and of social drinking.

A few years later I became very ill with Asian flu. We lived on an Army base, and it seemed that many of the personnel were suffering with the disease. I was still quite a new student of Christian Science, and although I was praying to know that God maintained my health, there was also a great temptation to see this suffering as real. When I began to have the same symptoms, I called a Christian Science practitioner in a nearby city. We had never seen or talked with each other before this call. She immediately spoke some comforting words to me and told me she would pray for me. I went back to bed and fell asleep right away. When I awakened the next morning, I was completely well, free, and strong.
