I was raised with much love in Christian Science...

MARILYN D. DuVALL

I was raised with much love in Christian Science by my mother, for whom I shall be forever grateful. My dear father supported her efforts. I have had numerous demonstrations of God's care, just a few of which I will relate.

Fifteen years ago, a few months before I was to receive class instruction in Christian Science, the fingers of my right hand became seriously infected. The skin was gone in several places, and my fingernails loosened. A Christian Science nurse came three times a week to clean and bandage the fingers. During those weeks there was only one time when I felt any pain at all. A Christian Science practitioner was asked to pray for me.

At one point there appeared to be the same kind of skin infection erupting on my legs and toes. However, as Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 378): "Disease has no intelligence. Unwittingly you sentence yourself to suffer. The understanding of this will enable you to commute this self-sentence, and meet every circumstance with truth. Disease is less than mind, and Mind can control it."
