My last testimony appeared in The Christian Science Journal of February 1946. The healings mentioned at that time have been permanent. As I look back on them, the illnesses seem like dreams, which they surely were. These experiences were but steppingstones to a higher understanding of the truths taught in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Many happy and joyous years have passed since these early healings, and Christian Science has been the only physician in our home.

Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 417): "To the Christian Science healer, sickness is a dream from which the patient needs to be awakened. Disease should not appear real to the physician, since it is demonstrable that the way to cure the patient is to make disease unreal to him. To do this, the physician must understand the unreality of disease in Science." This quotation relates to my own experiences and has been the basis of many healings.

At one time I had a physical disorder that manifested itself in immobility. I was unable to even turn myself over in bed, and I seemed to be completely helpless. At this time my husband was serving as First Reader in a nearby branch church, and I felt he should be free of taking care of my needs. A Christian Science practitioner was called, and she came to my aid immediately and began prayerful treatment.
