Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude for...

From the April 1942 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. It has raised me up from semi-invalidism to health and peace. When I was quite young in this study, my husband passed on. To mortal sense the way seemed dark, because I was left with three small children—the eldest six years of age, and the baby only three days old—and with no visible means of support. But I put my trust in God, divine Love, and our needs have been met through all the twenty-two years since then. At that time I was also wonderfully uplifted above any sense of grief and separation.

Before coming into Christian Science I had had a surgical operation for a fallen organ. But this gave only temporary relief, and the condition gradually became more aggravated until it seemed that I should have to submit to another operation. But when I learned through the study of Science that nothing is ever really out of place in God's perfect plan, the organ suddenly went back into place. To me this seemed like a miracle, but Mrs. Eddy tells us in Science and Health (p. 131), "The mission of Jesus confirmed prophecy, and explained the so-called miracles of olden time as natural demonstrations of the divine power, demonstrations which were not understood." This Science has never failed us when the Principle has been rightly applied, and we have had many demonstrations of healing and protection.

I am sincerely grateful for membership in The Mother Church, for class instruction, and for the privilege of serving as First Reader in a branch church. I pray that my life may attest my sincerity so as to lead others to understand and love the truth.—
