Testimony of Healing January 16, 1984 Issue

"How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders!"...

CHARLES THOMPSON ALLISON with contributions from HELEN M. ALLISON

"How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders!" (Dan. 4:3.) Having been a student of Christian Science many years, I now see quite clearly that each step forward in our journey from sense to Soul is a more spiritual one. Each step requires prayer, demonstration, discipline, and—most of all—keeping our eye on the goal through love for God and man, and dedication to making progress through study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings.

Christian Science is like a vital thread that has been woven into my life, guiding and governing every aspect of it. An example is the cherished Bible Lessons (outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly), which were my closest companions during World War II, particularly when I served in India and China. Also, through prayer, I met a dedicated Christian Scientist, and we were later married, thus beginning a happy union of over thirty-seven years.

In my experience when physical healing was urgently required, it was helpful to realize there was a need on my part for a change of thinking—from contemplating physical symptoms to recognizing and understanding spiritual truths, based on God's allness and perfection. As a result, I came to look more for practical truths and spiritual lessons than for a change in some portion of my body.
