Margaret Louise Morse with contributions from Louise Knox Morse

I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science and particularly for a healing of personal sense, or a false sense of self.

I seemed for quite a long time to be engrossed in self. I was always thinking of how I felt and whether I was happy. I just became so wrapped up in thinking of myself that I was being robbed of my joy in everything I did. Then it was found that one of my teeth was growing sideways and preventing the growth of another one.

At first I tried to ignore the difficulty instead of denying its reality and claiming what was really true. But when it began to get worse, I realized that I must meet and master it. So I called a Christian Science practitioner for help in solving this problem.

After a short time the situation improved, but I did not feel completely free. Then one day when I was talking with the practitioner, she noticed that the pronoun "I" was very prevalent in my part of the conversation. So she asked me to stop and think how many times "I" was used in my conversations throughout the day. She also told me to remember that God is the only I, or Ego.

When I went to bed that night I thought about what she had said and what went along with this concept of I. As I realized that God is the only Mind, that I did not have a separate mind of my own which could be unhappy or sick, and that I could reflect only the one Mind and therefore be happy, free, and complete, the mesmerism broke, and I saw through the personal sense.

As a result of my changing my thinking and turning my thought outward, my teeth were straightened.

I am so very grateful for Mary Baker Eddy and for the many healings and blessings I have had through Christian Science.—(Miss) Margaret Louise Morse, El Paso, Texas.

I am very gratified to be able to verify the above testimony of my daughter.

In the fall of 1962, before she went away to school, the dentist discovered while cleaning her teeth that a wisdom tooth was growing horizontally across the place where a permanent molar should soon appear. He recommended dental surgery at the earliest possible date. Prayerful work in Science was done to correct this condition.

Later in the year, when my daughter was experiencing pain and soreness, the help of a practitioner near her school was asked for. The work was very quick and effective. However, the help given throughout the year for various other difficulties had helped to open the thought of my daughter to receive and accept this lovely healing of personal sense which she describes in her testimony. With the opening of thought and the correction of misconceptions, the teeth straightened and the molar and the wisdom tooth are presenting themselves in their correct relationship to one another.— (Mrs.) Louise Knox Morse.
