TWO QUICK HEALINGS

DORSIE WALLACE

During my first years as a student of Christian Science, I studied Science and Health from cover to cover. It was like "a fountain of living waters" (Jer. 2:13) for me. I had been raised in another denomination, and had always loved the accounts of healing in the Bible, and wanted to understand how they occurred. But my questions had never been answered—until I found this Science. The spiritual truths contained in Science and Health, and explored in the weekly Christian Science Bible Lessons, gave me a solid foundation on which to grow in my understanding of the laws of God and how to put them into practice.

At that time, our family was living in Anaco, Venezuela, where my husband worked for a US oil company. One day, on one of his many trips between Anaco and Caracas, he called and asked me to pray for him—he was scheduled to attend a meeting with government officials, but felt so ill that he doubted he would be able to go.

Immediately, a verse from the book of Daniel in the Bible came to my thought: "as before him innocency was found . . ." (6:22). (The entire quote, referring to Daniel's protection from lions, says, "My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me.") I knew that my husband's "innocency"—his God-given freedom from fear and sickness—was a present, established fact of his being. God had taken care of that, and nothing could reverse it. No suggestion of ill health, arising from the notion that our substance is material, can dictate its false conclusions or take over our thinking.
