I wish to express my gratitude...

Ralph C. Genung

I wish to express my gratitude for the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and for all that Christian Science has done for me. My interest in Science began when I saw our two-year-old grandchild healed solely through reliance on God. After exhaustive tests and treatments in a hospital, the child had been sent home as mentally undeveloped and incurable. She could not talk or walk, or even sit up unless supported with pillows.

The mother was not a Christian Scientist, but she requested that my wife, who had been a student of Christian Science for several years, take the child and try to help her. Christian Science was quite equal to the task, and our granddaughter was completely healed. Today she is a healthy, beautiful girl of eleven and has no difficulty at all in keeping near the top in schoolwork. This healing was convincing proof of the Scriptural statement (Matt. 19:26), "With God all things are possible."

Shortly afterward I witnessed an instantaneous healing of a loved one who had suffered a stroke. These healings were proof enough to me that Christian Science is the truth, and I became interested in it. My study and acceptance of Mrs. Eddy's teachings brought a healing, without effort on my part, of the tobacco and liquor habits. A condition of the back which used to cause me considerable discomfort also disappeared with my acceptance of Christian Science.

For the past eight years our household has relied entirely on this Science for all of our needs. During part of this time we had five grandchildren living with us, and they were taught to rely completely on Christian Science. When problems arose which were not quickly met, we turned to practitioners for help, which was always promptly given. Although no longer in our home, these children still attend Sunday School.

I am most grateful for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church and for the opportunity to serve the Cause through church activities.—Ralph C. Genung, Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
