Edna Louise Lake

It is a pleasure to acknowledge all the blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science. A healing in my early teens brought my family and me into Christian Science. I was so ill my jaws had unlocked and my life was despaired of. My mother was sent for, as I was hospitalized. She brought along a friend for comfort. The friend was a Christian Scientist, and through her prayers I was awakened from my dream. At that time we knew nothing of this Science, but my entire family became devoted students of it. I was healed through Christian Science, and since then I have had no other religion.

After I married, our life led us to many faraway places, as my husband was a geologist-engineer and explorer. In these distant places I could not call my teacher of Christian Science or a Christian Science practitioner, so I turned wholly to God and relied on Him.

One example I will share with you. We were sent to South America on a project where our work was in dense jungle country. There we had extreme heat, poor food, bad water, and poor living conditions, but we were able to overcome all this in due time without ill effects.
