Healed of a Disease Pronounced Incurable

W. H. Sims

I was healed about three years ago of a disease that was pronounced incurable by a number of the best physicians. I had become despondent, believing God had sent this affliction upon me. I had been reared in a deeply pious home; taught from earliest childhood that God sent all trials for our good, and when my three little ones were taken I tried to bow in sweet submission to His will, but it was hard to believe that our heavenly Father, who is Love, could so afflict His children.

Under this terrible strain I lost my health, and even then I tried to be resigned to His will; but I grew worse and worse. Then I became rebellious, feeling that it was too much. I said I was willing to die, but would not be an invalid. It was at this time I was led to look into Christian Science. I was urged by my husband to consult a healer. He said, "You have tried everything else, why not try Christian Science." He knew nothing about it, but one of his friends had been healed by Christian Science. He did not know what it was, but said there must be something in it. I put him off from day to day, feeling that it was only time thrown away, but he insisted, and to please my husband, I finally went to see a healer.

I had been brought up on calomel and blue mass, my father being a physician of the old school; so I felt that I was going on a fool's errand.

I called on the healer. I shall never forget her calm, sweet face as she came into the room, free from any expression of care or anxiety. I told her I had come to her for help; I wanted to get well. She said, "My child, you can be well and you can heal yourself." No one had ever told me this before. Upon her recommendation I sent for "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I asked the healer to call at my home the following evening. When I left I felt uplifted. I thought, what is this? it surely is of God. Later it was proven to be so.

I received my book, and decided to read every word in it, so began at the preface, and there the first words I read were, "Leaning on the sustaining Infinite, to-day is big with blessings." I had been leaning on everything else but God, I would now give up everything else and lean wholly upon Him.

I am now well; rejoicing in the blessed Truth which has done for me more than it promised. It has never failed me. My sister has been healed of consumption, and others have come under the influence of Christian Science.
