Christian
Science Testimony
"BLESSING
IN TIME OF NEED"
It
is now more than thirty years since I was healed in
Christian Science and had the blessed privilege of class
instruction. I was healed in one treatment and the healing
was so marvelous that it astonished all who knew of the
case. I had been to the sanitarium at Battle Creek and had
two operations and was left helpless, the physicians saying
I would never be able to walk again without supports. I did
not walk across the floor from March until June, and
suffered agonies all the time. One day a friend came to see
me and brought a lady with her, saying as she came into the
room, "Cheer up, Sarah, I have brought you something now
that will heal you." I asked what it was and she replied,
"Christian Science." Somehow I thought they were the
sweetest words I had ever heard. I asked what it was and the
practitioner replied, "It is God who does the work." I was
always willing to trust God and had always had a craving for
higher things, and Christian Science came right into the
place in my consciousness that had been prepared for it. The
work was done absolutely and immediately and I was as well
and strong as I had ever been, and remained so and went
about my work, happy and free as a bird.
I
could tell of many, many demonstrations that have proved
both to myself and others that Christian Science is the
truth just as the Master gave it and as explained by our
blessed Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I have been asked this
question, "Do you have just as much confidence in Christian
Science now as you did at first?" and I can answer that my
confidence has increased as my understanding has enlarged
its borders. It is such a blessing in time of need, and
nothing can take its place. Just the other day someone said
a word that seemed to hurt and at first I had a struggle to
keep the tears back; then the thought came to me, When
Daniel was thrown into the lions' den, he did not sit down
and cry because someone had wronged him, he just kept his
face turned toward the light, having no room in his thought
for anything but the things of God. I am ever grateful for
Christian Science and all that it has brought to
me.
