Testimonies of Healing

In "Science and Health with Key...

From the December 1943 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 372), our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, lovingly reminds us, "In Christian Science, a denial of Truth is fatal, while a just acknowledgment of Truth and of what it has done for us is an effectual help." Because of the guidance and numerous blessings I have been enjoying as a result of the study and application of Christian Science, since it was recommended to me by an earnest student over eighteen years ago, I naturally want to offer this testimony.

From childhood and during my early twenties, I endured continued illnesses. A prominent physician in Chicago could not specifically diagnose the trouble, and had me resort to much medication, surgery, and enforced rest periods, but without favorable results. Then he recommended that I enter a sanitarium in the southwestern part of the country, for he believed I might obtain some measure of relief. Reluctant to leave familiar scenes, relatives, and friends, I turned to Christian Science. Slowly but certainly changes for the better became increasingly evident, until the conditions for which I had been doctoring disappeared.

I studied Science and Health and the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly, attended a number of Christian Science lectures, received help through sincere practitioners, and now I understand better Mrs. Eddy's statement in "Rudimental Divine Science" (p. 2): "Healing physical sickness is the smallest part of Christian Science. It is only the bugle-call to thought and action, in the higher range of infinite goodness."
