Testimonies of Healing

For about twelve years I have been a student of Christian Science, but I have benefited by its ministrations off and on all my life. One of my earliest recollections is of being healed of a fever.

When I was eighteen years old. spells of dimness affected my eyesight.

It is with sincere gratitude that I offer this testimony to the healing power of Truth, as revealed in the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. My first healing was of hernia, from which I had suffered for several years.

About five years ago, when my daughter was six years of age, we went to visit my parents, who live in a small mountain community more than a hundred miles from our home.

It is with the purpose of giving some hope and encouragement to young people who are traversing the dark valley of sickness, as I traversed it myself, that I give this testimony of healing and gratitude. I was in a hopeless state when Christian Science was presented to me in November, 1929.

I have loved and studied Christian Science for many years, and know that it would be impossible to estimate the benefits which have come to me through the application of its teachings. My first and most convincing experience of healing came simply through study of a certain passage in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

With great gratitude I bear witness to all the blessings which I have received through Christian Science. Over seven years ago my left lung became affected.
