Testimonies of Healing

With a heart overflowing with...

From the May 1923 issue of The Christian Science Journal


With a heart overflowing with gratitude, I wish to express my appreciation of Christian Science, and to tell of some of the many reasons for my thankfulness. In 1917 this teaching was brought to my attention by a dear friend, and I was instantaneously healed of lockjaw, after the doctor had given me up. This happened at eleven o'clock in the evening. I sent for a practitioner, and by one o'clock I was healed. I attended Christian Science church services next morning, for the first time. I began to study Christian Science, and after careful investigation found the spiritual sense of peace, joy, and happiness which Jesus promised should come to those who love God and abide in His law. Two years later I was entirely healed of internal difficulties. From the first treatment I received ease and peace of mind, together with a sense of happiness that gave confidence of my complete recovery, which came in a week's time. Words fail to express my gratitude for the beautiful healing and the spiritual uplift, as well as for gaining a clearer understanding of God and man, His image and likeness.

I find that in the proportion that we apply God's law, with the understanding we have, and depend on God alone, we are enabled to prove the truth of Christian Science. I have made many minor demonstrations; and I seek the guidance of divine Love in all my problems, continually and sincerely striving for that Mind "which was also in Christ Jesus." I am most grateful for Mrs. Eddy's works and the other Christian Science literature. My gratitude to God is unbounded, as well as to our dear Leader, whose message of Truth is redeeming humanity in the way Christ Jesus demonstrated.—
