Testimony of Healing October 17, 1983 Issue

This is my first written testimony

MADGE JEWELL

This is my first written testimony. And because the Christian Science periodicals are very precious to me, I feel prompted to say "thank you" to all the writers of the articles and testimonies published in them. I look forward to receiving these magazines so much. When they arrive it's just like having a friend visit.

When I was in my teens my mother had a wonderful healing, and she saw to it that I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School. As time passes I become increasingly grateful for what I learned there. The teachers were always ready and willing to help us by answering our questions. During the Second World War, when I was away from home, one of my former Sunday School teachers (a close friend of Mother's and a Christian Science practitioner) was always available to help me with any of my problems.

I can never be grateful enough for her loving support during those years I spent in the Women's Land Army. On one occasion, when I was milking a newly calved heifer, the animal knocked me down and trod on my leg, hurting it severely. I could only hobble and with great difficulty. I wrote to this friend, as I did not want to alarm my parents, and with her loving prayer and encouragement I was healed before very long. I can't recall any specific spiritual truths that helped me in my prayerful work during the war years, as that time was so long ago. But most likely I was benefited by this statement in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 385): "Whatever it is your duty to do, you can do without harm to yourself."
