Eighteen years ago I was introduced to Christian Science by a sister who had been healed of a sinus infection through reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. At the time I had been troubled for many years with colds, constipation, allergies, sinus infection, and pain in my lower back caused by curvature of the spine. I wore a special lift on my right shoe. All of these troubles were very depressing to me.

After I had studied the Bible Lesson each day for a few weeks, it dawned on me that God governs man just as He controls the universe, perfectly. One by one the physical difficulties were healed. The shoes with the special lift were discarded, as I no longer needed them, and I have been free of back pain ever since. I walk miles on the beach daily, play golf, and swim.

I had been a student of Christian Science for about a year when I discovered blisters on my hands and realized I had contracted poison ivy. This was very frightening to me because all through my childhood I had suffered severe reactions to something as simple as a mosquito bite. My sister encouraged me to call a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help, which I did. The practitioner assured me that the condition had no place in my true nature as the spiritual idea of God. After I had talked with her for a few minutes, the fear left me. In a few days the blisters began to dry up, and in a week I was healed. There has been no further trouble with sensitive skin.
