Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science is the light of...

From the May 1923 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science is the light of the world; and for this light that is dawning on human thought I am truly grateful. It is only after nearly fourteen years of a wrong sense of working or struggling that I am now beginning to realize what that Light is that "lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

For the healing of many physical troubles, including impaired eyesight, severe toothache, influenza, corneal ulcers, and minor disabilities, I am very grateful. Last summer, while in the country, I was taken with a choking spell which seemed so real that I had to be brought into town in a motor milk-wagon, there being no railway or telephone within four miles. I had almost given up hope of life, and did not think I should last through the journey; but on reaching the Christian Science practitioner, who would behold only the real man, I received immediate relief. It was with great joy and gratitude that, three days later, I was able to walk smartly to her office, perfectly healed. I had had a similar experience some years previously; and whilst I was helped in Science at that time, and gratefully acknowledged the help, I was not made spiritually well, as on the occasion last summer. In the words of a loved hymn,—

"The longing to be good and true
Has brought the Light again."
