Christian Science has revealed God to me. I have found through many years that He is man's Father-Mother and that I can rely on His guidance and protection. He supplies our every need.

After my daughter passed on, leaving a young daughter of her own, I was enabled, through my study and application of Science, to help make a home for this child and to see her education completed. She is now happily married.

I have been healed twice of blood poisoning. Once a finger became badly infected, and my whole arm was affected. My work made it necessary for me to have my hands in water and strong chemical solutions throughout the day; but in spite of that and as a result of the effective prayer of a Christian Science practitioner, the spread of the poisoning was arrested, and the finger opened and drained. The swelling and inflammation vanished.

I began to feel very ill one afternoon. I had a high fever and a pain in my chest; so I called a practitioner for help. Loving friends came and took me into their home and cared for me. After several days the enlightened prayerful work which the practitioner and I were doing healed the condition, and I could again say, "Thank You, Father-Mother God."

I was greatly helped during this experience by an understanding of God's ever-presence and all-power and by accepting the fact that "divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need," as Mrs. Eddy tells us in Science and Health (p. 494). The turning point came when the practitioner, no doubt sensing a wrong thought, asked me if I was wishing for a medical diagnosis. I answered firmly and with no hesitation that I wished to rely absolutely on the teachings of Christian Science, and from that moment on I began to improve.

I was also reminded to thank God for His loving government of His ideas even before the evidence of healing was manifested. Improvement continued, and I was soon completely free. The sense of gratitude I developed then has remained with me and prompts this testimony.

I am very grateful to the practitioners who have helped me to gain not only physical healings but a better understanding of God. I have had the privilege of class instruction and have been a subscriber for the periodicals for many years. I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church. —(Mrs.) Lela M.
