Testimonies of Healing

After enjoying the benefits of...

From the July 1939 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After enjoying the benefits of Christian Science for many years, and receiving many healings, I wish to offer this testimony in expression of my deep-felt gratitude.

About fourteen years ago, when I was seven, I made a trip from Cleveland, Ohio, where we were living at the time, and visited my sister in St. Louis, Missouri. While there, I was taken seriously ill. My sister's husband was a chiropractor, and they wanted me to allow their system of healing to be used. They also suggested calling a doctor for me. However, I stood firm, and insisted that nothing but Christian Science be used. Through a friend I found the name of a practitioner. Absent treatment was given, and I was requested to visit the practitioner's home within four hours. My sister and her husband stated that I was too ill to leave my bed, much less to make the trip to her home. The practitioner said she would work for me immediately, and in about three hours I was at her home, and had experienced a complete healing.

Since the foregoing healing, my family has made its permanent home in St. Louis, where I had the wonderful advantage of attending the Christian Science Sunday School.

My mother, father, sister, and brother-in-law are now all members of The Mother Church, and my father and mother are also members of a branch church. They have all experienced many healings through the study and application of Science. Among other things my mother has been healed of sprained ankle, colds, and intestinal trouble; my father of kidney trouble, toothaches, and unemployment; my sister of a distressing illness; and my brother-in-law of unemployment, smoking, and social drinking.—

We should like to verify the above statements made by our daughter.—
