Testimonies of Healing

I must express gratitude for Christian Science...

From the January 1968 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I must express gratitude for Christian Science, the reason for the joy and peacefulness I feel these days.

During my college years I strayed from the teachings of my loving and devoted Christian Science parents and my Christian Science Sunday School teachers to the extent that I took up smoking and occasional social drinking. One day, after many months of this, I was alarmed by sharp pains. To be excused from classes, I had to be examined by the school nurse. She thought I had appendicitis and told me to wait in my room until I could be admitted to a hospital.

When hospital was mentioned, I began to realize how far I had allowed myself to slide from my early training and faith that God is the healer of all diseases. I immediately telephoned my family a thousand miles away to ask for treatment in Christian Science. They called a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to take the case.
