Tender care given
"The expectation of healing and the overall atmosphere of Truth and Love were so helpful . . ."
Thank you all for the loving care given to [my patient]. The tender attention given her needs, especially the nourishment aspect, was marvelous!
The expectation of healing and the overall atmosphere of Truth and Love were so helpful in combating general world belief and medical beliefs. The manual requirements and Christian Science nursing qualities were very much in evidence as various phases of error were handled expertly.

A mother and child find refuge
“I want to go to the healing place.”
“I was called by my day care provider and told to pick up my four-year-old son because of their concern about his health,” a mother told the Christian Science nurse when she brought her son to Beacon Haven.
After spending a few hours at the facility with the Christian Science nurses, both the boy and his mother found their needs met by the services and atmosphere at Beacon Haven.
“A couple weeks later my son woke up with sniffles. When I came to him,” his mother said, “he told me, ‘I want to go to the healing place.'”
What a wonderful insight. No one had used this terminology with him.
