Testimonies of Healing

My mother first presented Christian Science...

From the September 1951 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My mother first presented Christian Science to our home by making the statement that she was going to try it. She did, and received a healing. At her request, I attended a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a Church of Christ, Scientist; and what I heard there convinced me that Christian Science was what I wanted, because it appealed to my reasoning.

My first healing came at the time of the First World War during an epidemic of influenza. I contracted a severe case, and a practitioner was called. There did not seem to be any immediate change, and my father became alarmed. However, he saw that I had taken a stand for Christian Science, and realizing the futility of insisting on the services of a doctor, he said no more. Of course, the healing came.

At one time a fur piece, which had been lost in the subway, was recovered upon the instant declaration that there are no losses in divine Mind. A sprained toe was healed in twenty-four hours, and I was able to go dancing the next day.
