Testimonies of Healing

About ten years ago when our family was living...

From the December 1991 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About ten years ago when our family was living in an Asian city, I was serving as First Reader for the group of Christian Scientist there. I had recently presented copies of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy to my two dearest friends. They belonged to the staff of the international school where I was teaching, and I had invited them to attend a Sunday service with me.

In the early morning hours of the day that I had arranged to bring my friends to our service, I became Ill. There were repeated bouts of vomiting, and it appeared that I would not be able to read at the service.

The Bible Lesson for that week (outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly), which I had been prayerfully studying each day, included in the passages from Science and Health excerpts from a "trial," an allegory that is employed to illustrate two contrasting ways to confronting disease.
