Virginia L. Beamer

My life has been so filled with blessings since I became a student of Christian Science that I feel I must share my joy with others.

The first proof we had of God's loving care and protection was at the time our first child was born. Although many so-called medical laws were broken, the birth was harmonious and absolutely without pain. I am increasingly grateful to the practitioner and the Christian Science nurse who attended me at this time.

One outstanding healing I should like to tell about occurred when this child was about four and a half years old. A neighbor had left a can of lye in the yard, and the child, thinking it was something good to eat, filled his mouth full. When he came to me, the picture was anything but a happy one, and since I had no telephone, I sent my brother to try to reach a practitioner. The only one in the vicinity was not at home, so I was obliged to handle the condition myself. I have been so grateful for this proving time. Almost at once the swelling in his lips disappeared, and although the lye had eaten away part of his tongue, within a few hours he was able to eat bread and milk for his supper, and in less than a week all trace of burn was gone. Truly God is good to those who trust in Him.

The many healings which have taken place in our home through the understanding of God and His laws are most wonderful. Broken bones, severe burns, measles, mumps, influenza, all have been healed through applying God's law. Our other son was instantaneously healed of the result of an accident when the physicians at the hospital where he was taken, said his condition was so serious that they did not care to move him even to take an X ray. The next morning, Sunday, we brought him home, and the next afternoon he was in school taking part in all the activities.

Also, at the passing on of those very dear to us, the priceless understanding which our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, has given us that man is one with God, and that in reality there is no death, has made of these experiences a time of peace and calmness. I can never be grateful enough for this "pearl of great price," Christian Science. I am most grateful for the practitioners who have helped me along the way: for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church; for the privilege of serving in the Cause of Christian Science; and most particularly for the joyous privilege of class instruction. — (Mrs.) Virginia L.
