If there is any possibility of a testimony being perfect, it seems to me that Kristen Hills' one beginning page 103 of our December book Christian Science: Continuing Evidence of Christ-Healing could claim that accolade.
Her son Sam was a teenager studying at Principia College. (This is presumption from his testimony which is added to his mother's which gives
his address as Elsah, Illinois.)
Sam was on a rock-climbing expedition hours away from the
camp when he was bitten by a rattle-snake. His companions were a group of
13 to 15 year-olds, and there were counsellors in the party.
I love this: "He told me that the campers and
counsellors present at the time of the incident had circled around him, and
everyone was calm. He had felt their confident prayers."
Kristen had early on been encouraged by a hymn in the
Christian Science Hymnal (#53):
Everlasting arms of Love
Are beneath, around, above;
God it is who bears us on,
His the arm we lean upon.
Kristen adds, "I was struck by the fact that, as my son
mentions below, the poison never seemed to circulate through his system.
It was as though that encircling of God's protection and loving care acted as a
tourniquet."
I hope readers of this blog can get to read this outstanding
testimony for themselves. All the testimonies are outstanding really.
