Testimonies of Healing

Since taking up the study of...

From the June 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Since taking up the study of Christian Science I have been healed of many false beliefs, results of physical injuries, and wrong traits of character; I have also been healed of the desire for tea and coffee. I am very grateful for these healings, which have been accomplished sometimes with the help of practitioners and sometimes by my own study and realization of the truth of being.

I should like to tell of two healings which stand out prominently. One was of a badly burned face, incurred when I was tending a furnace. By holding steadfastly to the truth as taught in Christian Science I was freed from pain, and in a few days the burned skin came off, leaving new skin. Moreover, no scar remained.

Recently I had what is known as a stroke, and my left side became partly paralyzed. Through the work of a consecrated practitioner I was healed in four days. The stroke took place on a Tuesday evening and on the following Sunday I was ushering in our branch church. No words can express my gratitude for these healings.

For membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, for class instruction, and for all the activities of the Christian Science movement, I am very grateful.

My unending gratitude goes out to our Father-Mother God, whom, through Christian Science, I have learned to know as Love. I am grateful to Christ Jesus, the Wayshower; to Mary Baker Eddy, to whom was revealed the eternal truth, and who, overcoming material resistance to Truth, gave her discovery to needy humanity. I am also grateful to the practitioners throughout the world, who devote their lives to helping those in need. My most fervent prayer is that I may so live that my life shall be a testimony of God's wonderful love for all His children. —
