David Haughton

Words can never express my profound gratitude for divine Science. It has been my only physician for more than fifty years. Over these years I have experienced many physical healings that have proved to me without a shadow of doubt that divine Science is the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. What means the most to me, however, is the spiritual growth in my understanding of God and my inseparable relationship with Him.

When I was about nine years old, I became very ill with scarlet fever. Because of the legal requirements regarding the reporting of contagious diseases and the care of children in the United Kingdom, a doctor had to be called. This very kind and understanding man was told by my mother that I was receiving Christian Science treatment.

He was very concerned about my condition, but since he felt there was little he could do for me, I continued to receive Christian Science treatment. He called every day to see how I was. One day he expressed concern for my life. My mother reported this to the practitioner treating me, and shortly afterwards she received a telegram from him, which read: "Feel fully confident of your power to revive your joy and gratitude. Study specially the coming again of the child's spiritual sense in First Kings 17, verse 22." This verse reads, "And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived."
