Testimonies of Healing

So much of good has come to our family...

From the September 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


So much of good has come to our family through our understanding of Christian Science since my testimony was published in the Journal of October, 1944, that I have felt withholding of further testimony was not in obedience to the command (Mai. 3:10), "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse." The truth of God's goodness is true for all, and I hope others may find encouragement from our experiences.

One day during the Second World War, I was very much disturbed. I thought, "If God could prevent this war, then why is it permitted?" Then I realized that that was just what mortal mind wanted the Christian world to do—to doubt the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of God. A positive assurance came that regardless of the evidence before the human senses, God was in complete control. A sense of peace filled my thought. That evening as I passed my hand over the forearm, an ugly blemish rolled away under my fingers. Many difficult days have followed, but never again have I doubted that the Christ, Truth, will eventually rule all nations in harmony and peace.

A healing by mental surgery in the removal of an abnormal growth from my husband's eye was cause for great gratitude. I do not know what the condition would have been called, since no diagnosis was made; but whatever it was, it was spreading. The teachings of Christian Science were applied, and Truth's activity was soon evident. One day I mentioned to my husband that the spot on his eye was disappearing. "Yes," he said, "I know it, and I can see better too." It soon disappeared completely.
