Jeanette F. Sutton

My interest in Christian Science was aroused many years ago when my mother was healed of cancer solely through earnest study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

I did not turn to Science for healing until several years later, when I became ill with jaundice and was extremely weak and unable to retain food. I was teaching in a local school, and the family with whom I roomed became alarmed at the condition and urged me to have medical help. However, I was firm in my resolve to rely solely on spiritual means for healing.

Since there was no Christian Science practitioner in the vicinity, I wrote to a Scientist with whom I had become acquainted the previous summer, and requested help through prayer. As my friend explained later, on receiving the letter, she recognized that since the discord was not a creation of God, perfect Mind, it was unreal and powerless and had no dominion over me. In her prayer she dwelt on the changeless perfection and harmony of my real spiritual being as a child of God, at one with Him and reflecting His goodness. It was acknowledged that the healing Christ, Truth, was governing me, destroying fear and false beliefs and restoring me to my natural state of health and freedom.
