IRIS MAY SUMMERSGILL

Many years ago, while we were on holiday at the coast, my son, then aged seven, developed what appeared to be measles. I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner and asked her to help us through prayer. The following day the spots were gone but a persistent cough remained. I again telephoned the practitioner, and on the third or fourth day my son was quite free of the cough.

A healing I experienced was of a small growth on my chest. It had been there for years and had not worried me. In fact, I took little notice of it. Then, over three and a half years ago, the growth started enlarging and began to discharge. The odor was very objectionable, and I felt embarrassed when in company of others, fearing that they would notice it. I telephoned a practitioner for help, which was lovingly given, and I felt most encouraged.

The practitioner drew my attention to this citation in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 390): "It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony." The practitioner and I worked together to build up this right understanding of God, which was necessary for healing.
