Primary Class Instruction April 6, 2015 Issue

An indescribable peace and joy

Anne E. Dixon

I have wanted to know more about God and my relationship to Him for as long as I can remember. When I found out there was a class I could take that would further my study about God and my ability to bless others through healing—Primary class instruction in Christian Science—I dearly wanted to take it as soon as possible. I spoke to different Christian Science teachers about this step, but began to feel a little discouraged because it wasn’t happening right away.

Then one summer I was in a strenuous music program, playing viola all day, every day. One day as I was playing, I felt something in my arm snap, and suddenly I was unable to move it. It was extremely painful. I’d never been incapacitated like this, though I’d had a similar pain in my arm earlier in my life, before I’d learned about Christian Science, and had been advised by a doctor that there was no cure.

However, I had since learned in Christian Science that God is good and that an understanding of this brings healing, so I decided to address this issue through Christian Science. It required patience and diligence, which I found I had. During the year that followed I prayed persistently and studied the Christian Science Bible Lesson each day. I also asked a Christian Science practitioner for Christian Science treatment.
