Healed at the Church Services

K. B.

We have been favored in our church with many verifications of the truth of the Mother's words in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," page 291, lines 5–7. I shall relate one of our proofs which was manifest last Sunday at the morning service.

A young man who plays a wind instrument in a band, had the belief that playing produced such a severe sick headache that he hardly knew what to do with himself. After being out with the band last Saturday night, Sunday morning found him in agony. A neighbor who is a member of our church seeing him in such misery said to him that going to church and listening to the Lesson-Sermon would heal him. He determined to go and see what the effect would be.

After the service this man went around among the people apparently perfectly happy, telling how the service had healed him of his terrible pain—that it was entirely gone, that he felt just fine—free as a bird.

Another instance verifying the same passage occurred some time ago. A middle-aged man who was in the city having some school desks manufactured, had lifted a heavy bar of iron from the floor and injured his back quite badly. He said he felt something break or snap near his spinal column, whereupon he dropped the bar, reeled, and nearly fainted

After that he was in terrible pain until the next evening. On Wednesday he happened to think that he had promised some of the men at the foundry that he would attend the Christian Science Wednesday evening meeting, but he doubted whether he would be able to get to the church in his condition. He managed to go to the church but sat in his seat in pain, until the service opened, when he completely forgot all about himself until the closing of the meeting; then he found himself perfectly healed.

The First Reader was rather surprised to have this stranger walk up to her and say that he had a doctor bill to pay (holding out a silver dollar to her), as he had been healed during the meeting but did not know who to pay for it. "Well," said the Reader, smiling, "this money does not belong to me, but to the church, as the general harmony produced by the Truth has healed you." The man replied, "Very well, put it in the church treasury then, for I am so thankful I must pay something somewhere to express my gratitude to the Healer of all our diseases."
