Christian Science in Obstetrics

H. E. Hamlin

I did not come to Christian Science through healing. I had possessed a copy of Science and Health for several years before I became a Scientist, and all I read seemed good common sense. It has proven to be such in every instance of my four years experience. After I took a stand for Christian Science I discovered plenty of spiritual healing to do, however.

I have found that I have made progress in many ways, especially in relying on Principle to guide my family and myself. I had been inclined to do all the planning, and to arrange matters for days to come which maybe would never materialize.

I gave birth to a baby girl with no help whatever but Christian Science, the healer not even being present. I was on my feet when the baby was but six hours old. The second day I walked up and down a long hall, also the third day. The fourth day I put my clothes on and went to meals. The eighth day I drove two hours or more. The tenth day I was shopping half the day and made no difference in my usual habits from that time. I ate everything I pleased from the time my baby was an hour old. This was much pleasanter than to be restricted to food usually allowed at that time. Many of my friends who were not Christian Scientists said that in time I would feel ill effects, but they were mistaken, as a year and a half has gone by and I am still perfectly well.

The help in making a financial demonstration has been much to my husband and myself. Until January of the present year my husband was in the patent medicine business, which became more and more distasteful to him as he grew in Christian Science. He did not seem to be able to leave it until the first of this year, when his position was taken from him and we had to rely on divine Love to take care of us, and we are realizing more and more every day that God is the source of all supply. My husband and myself received class instruction two years ago from one of Mrs. Eddy's loyal students, who has guided us upward in the paths of Truth, helping us to know God is All-in-all and will guide and take care of us in every instance.—H.
