Testimonies of Healing

It is with a deep sense of gratitude...

From the April 1922 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I wish to express my appreciation for Christian Science healing. I have depended on its sustaining power for several years, and in no demand has it failed me. While there have occurred many doubtful and discouraged moments, always in turning unreservedly to the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy I have been quickly healed.

At one time I was suffering intensely with a pain in my side so that I could not turn myself in bed or get up when I was down, or vice versa. I did not think so much about it until it lasted for several days; then I became frightened, thinking it might be appendicitis. My husband not being interested in Christian Science, I thought he might want me to have an operation. I told my difficulty to a practitioner, and was healed. In less than a week I was entirely well and happy again, more determined than ever to know more of the healing power as taught by Christ Jesus and again revealed by Mary Baker Eddy. While I feel I thoroughly appreciate the physical healing, it is not to be compared with the purification of thought that has come to me.

When I came to Christian Science I was a self-willed, irritable, excitable, disobedient creature. Now I am quite different. I am content to know this change has come, and that through the continued study and application of Christian Science greater works can be done.
