Testimonies of Healing
Seventeen years ago, I was an invalid suffering from stomach and heart trouble. Physicians who were attending me had said I should never be well and was in danger of passing on at any time.
Christian Science came to our home over thirty-eight years ago, and during that time has proved to be the great and only physician, healing mental, physical, moral, and financial difficulties. At that time I was a mental and physical wreck, with the verdict of incurability put upon me.
For about twenty-eight years Christian Science has met my every need, for which I am unspeakably grateful. I have had many healings through radical reliance on Truth as taught by Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
With a heart full of gratitude for Christian Science and for the blessings it has brought into my life, I give this testimony. In Isaiah we read, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
I am glad to express in writing the gratitude I feel for all the good I have experienced through the study and application of Christian Science as given to the world in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our courageous and much-beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. This truth was presented to me about ten years ago by my wife, who had heard about it from a friend.
In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy has given us a most precious recipe for the healing of all problems. That Christian Science heals has been proved many times by its students.
My first healing in Christian Science came when I was eight years old. A case of measles had left me with ear trouble and deafness.
In November, 1927, I experienced my first healing through Christian Science treatment, at which time I turned wholeheartedly to the study of Christian Science. In 1929 I entered a state university, and despite financial difficulties I was enabled, through the application of Christian Science, to complete my education.
When I turned to Christian Science everything seemed wrong with my affairs, and I was in a mental turmoil. I had moved to a city where I was without friends or even acquaintances.
My work being electric meter testing, many occasions arise when it is necessary to handle electric wires which are energized. Recently, while I was testing a certain part of a meter, a "flash arc" took place in close proximity to my left eye.
