Science Testimony
FLU
HEALED
One
night I awakened with intense suffering. I worked, as
Christian Science teaches us, for myself until morning;
while I grew no worse, I felt no better. About eight o'clock
I called my father to help me; and for two hours or more it
was a fight for life. I apparently went through every
symptom of influenza during those two hours; and as each
symptom appeared it was thoroughly destroyed. I did not stop
one moment from consciously declaring the truth; and though
I was unable to hold a book, I had "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy beside me where I
could read a line, and then repeat it many times. By eleven
o'clock I was perfectly free from any manifestation of
disease, but was too weak to get up. The next day I was up
and able to walk twenty blocks. This experience proved to me
that we do not need to go through a stage of convalescence.
Not one ill effect resulted. This was undoubtedly a healing
of extreme fear; and I am surely grateful for God's
protection.
