I have been a Christian Scientist for many years, and the healings I have experienced myself and the healings I have witnessed in my family are innumerable, not to mention the protection and prevention of evil that Christian Science has afforded us.

Often a healing takes time and spiritual effort because we need to dig and grow. But the quick or instantaneous healings are inspiring and clearly point out the immediacy of God. I would like to relate two such healings.

When we were married, my husband was not a Christian Scientist and had great doubts about its healing power. One day I was broiling a chop for his dinner. As I opened the broiler door, our eldest son, who was still a toddler, leaned on the inside of the door with both his little hands. He started to scream, and as I picked him up, my husband came home. When he saw what had happened, he went right to a pharmacy to get something to put on the burns. But I immediately called a Christian Science practitioner and became so engrossed in listening to her as she poured out to me truths concerning the child's perfect, unchanging, spiritual nature that I forgot about the injury. It wasn't until I had hung up the receiver that I realized that the child had crawled down from my lap and was contentedly playing, completely healed.
