Broken forearm healed; drugs and tobacco cast out

John C. Stutz

I am grateful to the Christian Scientists who introduced Christian Science to me. The criticism and ill will which I felt toward this teaching gradually yielded, and I accepted it. Now I enjoy the fruitage of their loving-kindness. I sincerely and humbly acknowledge Christian Science as the pearl of great price, which heals all our human needs.

Before I accepted Science, I was a chronic user of medicine and a slave to tobacco. But while intently reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was healed of the use of tobacco and medicine. After several weeks had elapsed, I found a box of costly cigars in my cabin. Again I tried to smoke one, but it tasted so bitter that it was positively offensive. There was no sacrifice or loss, because the use of tobacco proved to be just a dream from which I awoke. All of my medicine was destroyed.

Since I have gained some understanding of Christian Science, I have had many direct answers to prayer. The following experiences did not include materia medica or surgery, except for first aid for my arm. A fingernail which had become divided and was held together only by a filament of skin did not heal for many months, but it finally did after I saw more clearly the truth about God's perfect idea. In 1936 I had an instantaneous healing of a double break of my forearm, with the aid of a devout practitioner.

I want to express my gratitude for church and Sunday School work;these fields of labor are of great importance to my progress in the understanding of Christian Science. I also have been greatly benefited by class instruction. Most of all I want to express my gratitude to our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who was pure enough to interpret to us the messages of Love brought to us by Christ Jesus, the Way-shower. Let all creation praise God, from whom all blessings flow.—John C. Stutz, Butte, Montana.
