A Timeless Healer

BEVERLY BEMIS HAWKS

Thrown from a sleigh in 1877, a teen-age girl sustained a spinal injury that made her a semi-invalid for eighteen years. The Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, was offered to her in 1895. She was healed by reading the book.

This book continues to bless and heal generation after generation. A three-year-old—the great great-grandson of the woman in the sleigh—cried as he told his grandmother of a healing he needed to have. He was ill with a fever.

She asked if he wanted to cry and feel terrible or think rightly and feel good. She said that she was going to know what was true of him and that she expected him to help by doing the same. They both agreed to pray.
