Testimonies of Healing

For a number of years our family has...

From the January 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For a number of years our family has depended on Christian Science for healing. During our forty-one years of married life, I never knew my wife to stay in bed a single day, except when our daughters arrived; and their births occurred naturally, quickly, and happily in our home. While we were raising them, any difficulty was healed through prayer. The two girls were never taken to a doctor, nor were they given medicine of any kind. When they became ill, their difficulties were slight and were healed quickly.

As for myself, for a total of fifty-six years I did not lose a single full day of work due to illness of any kind. There were days when I felt a need to leave the office early, but I always returned the next morning.

At one time my teeth ached. A dentist's thorough examination couldn't pinpoint the source of the discomfort, and he was at a loss as to how to help me. After leaving his office I decided to do what I should have done in the first place—apply my understanding of Christian Science. With the aid of the Concordances I studied intently Science and Health and other writings by Mrs. Eddy. I was gaining a clear lesson in the allness of God, good; the perfection of man made in His likeness (my true identity); and the consequent nothingness of error. By evening the discomfort had completely vanished, and it has not recurred.
