Testimonies of Healing

During a period of over twenty...

From the May 1941 issue of The Christian Science Journal


During a period of over twenty years, the Christian Science periodicals have come into my home. The reading and study of them has been not only an exceptionally splendid educational process, but a means of spiritual enlightenment. Reading the testimonies given in gratitude for healings received in Christian Science, has encouraged and assisted me through many trying conditions.

I feel it my duty now to give a testimony in gratitude for the healing efficacy of Christian Science. In 1913, I was afflicted in one arm with an acute case of blood poisoning. In a few hours it was thought necessary for a physician to lance the arm, which he did, but there was no relief. The following day another physician informed me it was urgent that the arm be amputated to check the infection.

During the following night my mother asked me to try Christian Science, saying she had heard that people were healed by it. I knew nothing of Christian Science. Unknown to me she had been studying it for about a year and was acquainted with a Christian Science practitioner. I said, "If you think it would help me, you may call the practitioner." She replied, "If you decide on that method it is better for you to telephone and ask for Christian Science treatment."
