I was nineteen when Christian Science entered my life

Harry Edwards

I was nineteen when Christian Science entered my life. This became the greatest blessing I had ever had.

I came home one evening with a severe case of tonsillitis. My throat was badly swollen. My mother, who wasn't a Scientist, said, "It's too late in the day to see a doctor. Why don't you try Christian Science? I know of a Christian Science practitioner who lives close by." Quickly I agreed, and the practitioner was called. She spoke to me of God and of my sonship with Him as a beloved child. Just talking to her made me feel better, and soon I was completely free of all pain. Not being a Christian Scientist, I thought it was a miracle! Within a few days I was perfectly normal. From that time on I have always depended on Science for healing.

Another time, when my family and I were driving through Spain, I was seized with severe pain in my abdomen. As time went on, the pain increased. We were still some distance from the nearest town, so I drove as fast as I could. I thought that if I could be alone and quiet I could overcome this false belief. When we arrived, there wasn't a hotel to be found. I lay down on the back seat of our small car, read my copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and prayed. About a half hour later, the pain stopped. Once again we had witnessed the healing Christ in action. Soon we were on our way as if nothing had happened.
