Testimonies of Healing

At one time I was suffering from a severe and persistent illness diagnosed as undulant fever by our family physician. I also had an ulcer, colitis, and lifelong anemia, for which I was being treated medically.

From my early childhood I was sick a lot, and I went to doctors a lot, and I had a lot of childhood diseases. And as I grew older, into my early teens, the condition just seemed to get worse, to the point where I was under almost constant antibiotic treatment for various infectious diseases.

My mother passed on when I was an infant, and my father also passed away when I was still at a tender age. Relatives took care of me, but things were rugged as I was growing up.

I am deeply grateful for Christian Science. I was raised in this Science but fell away from its teachings during my teens.

When our son was about two years old he began to have symptoms of what I suspected was leukemia. I was familiar with these symptoms because I had known two children with this disease.

"Finally, a chance to actually meet one. " That was my first thought when finding out a co-worker had been raised in Christian Science.

I had been a member of a church of another denomination all my life and had always relied on medical care. After receiving treatment from eight doctors over a period of six and a half years without success, I discontinued the medical attention.

Many years ago, during my last year at school, I stopped to look in the window of a Christian Science Reading Room. A Bible was open to these words of Christ Jesus: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" (John).

My husband was a Christian Science lecturer for ten years. Each lecture tour involved several months of steady travel and the giving of five or six lectures a week.

It is with great joy that I verify what my wife has written in her testimony. I am so grateful to have been raised in Christian Science and to be able to raise our children in Science.
