Emma Martha Church

I am deeply grateful for Christian Science and all its activities, but especially grateful for the protection I have received through more than forty years of motoring and during intense bombing during World War II. Our house was badly damaged, but there were no casualties in all the neighborhood. And again I was protected with others while doing distribution work for the branch Church of Christ, Scientist, of which I was then a member.

We were visiting the London docks every week all through the war. It was our duty to leave the church at nine-thirty, but on this particular morning, in no way could the drawer be opened in which our passes were kept. This delayed us for about twenty minutes. When a last effort was made, the key turned quite easily, and we went on our way. Had we left the church at our correct time, we would no doubt have been crossing over a very large crossroad in the East India dock area when a rocket bomb fell in the center of it. But we were there just after it had fallen.

I witnessed the healing of cancer when the patient was given only six weeks to live. I shall be ever grateful to the practitioner for her love and patience through what was a very difficult case.

For myself, I am most grateful for healings through Christian Science of chronic constipation and bronchitis endured from childhood, of influenza and jaundice, and more recently of a badly damaged knee.

My heart goes out in thanks to the practitioner and friends who gave so much love and support when my only and very loved daughter passed on suddenly while we were on holiday.

I have enjoyed many years of church work, and I offer thanks to God for His unspeakable gifts of His Son, Christ Jesus, and Christian Science. I am grateful for the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy.
