With deep and sincere gratitude to our Father-Mother God; to Christ Jesus, our Saviour; and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I offer this testimony of blessings received through the study and application of Christian Science.
My earliest memories are of stories of the healings performed by Jesus; and later, through the study of the New Testament, the realization came that Christ is still our true healer, and with it the proof of this truth, through an instantaneous healing of warts on my hands and wrists. Other healings came about through prayer and childlike faith in God's goodness, and this hallowed influence remained with me through the years after I became a member of an orthodox church. Although I heard many wonderful sermons in this church my heart was constantly longing for something more akin to the teachings of Christ Jesus, and my prayer was surely answered, for in due time Christian Science was brought to my attention, and from the very first I recognized it as the truth which I had been seeking.
In the past twenty-one years I have had many sacred proofs of God's tender care and protection. My five sons have been reared almost to young manhood without a drop of medicine and have been almost entirely free from sickness. So-called children's diseases which presented themselves were quickly routed by Truth. A case of measles was so beautifully healed that no trace of the rash was left on the child when a doctor, called in by my husband, examined him an hour later. Scarlet fever was healed in less than a day. The doctor called a second time, only to find the child free, and said that he could not understand it, for it certainly had been a case of scarlet fever. Extreme bowlegs were so quickly straightened with the aid of treatment from a practitioner that it was commented on by our neighbor.
