Testimony of Healing March 16, 1981 Issue

My mother began studying Christian Science...

JEANNE K. MARTIN

My mother began studying Christian Science after her brother's life was saved by Science. His condition had been diagnosed as fatal by the doctors. It reached the point where he was not expected to live through the night. A Christian Science practitioner was called, and treatment through prayer was requested. Not only did my uncle survive the night, but today he is leading an active life.

After this my mother sought healing through this Science for herself whenever the need arose and whenever one of us children was ill. It was several years before my father began to study Science, but his interest evolved as he witnessed our childhood healings. He was healed of smoking as his desire to join the Church of Christ, Scientist, grew.

My father also experienced an amazing healing, which I remember although I was just a child. He was bedridden and his body swollen. He was absent from work for about four weeks but recovered with the prayer of a practitioner. When he was able to return to work, he was required to take a physical exam. The examining physician came to the conclusion that Father had been suffering from rheumatic fever, but that there were no aftereffects from the disease—he was totally well.
