Testimony of Healing February 9, 1987 Issue

Over two years ago two large bare spots appeared on my head

Harriet S. Ueland

Over two years ago two large bare spots appeared on my head. This was a terrific shock to me because of pride of appearance and also fear of disease. Immediately I called a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to pray for me. Soon I lost the fear that I might have a disease. But I still needed more prayerful help, as I was doubtful that my hair would grow again. I stopped going to beauty parlors because the beauticians usually suggested I seek medical advice.

As I continued with my study of Christian Science, I found more and more spiritual truths to work with, and I released the practitioner. We had been working with the idea of completeness; I felt happy with the work we had begun and I felt stimulated by the challenge.

After about six months, however, I awoke to the fact that there was no evidence of healing. During that time, with the use of hats, berets, and hair ribbons, I had managed to make the condition less noticeable. Also, I had spoken of it to no one, even my children, though they and others must have observed the difficulty. Now I felt a renewed sense of concern and a need for fresh inspiration. It wasn't right to simply put up with the trouble.
