Testimonies of Healing

Learning to understand God better...

From the June 1947 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Learning to understand God better and man's relation to Him, through the study and application of Christian Science, has been my greatest blessing. I have been inspired and encouraged so many times that I want to express my gratitude by testifying to some of the blessings that I have received.

This Science has met my every need since I was about ten. My parents and grandparents were deeply religious, so that I early learned to turn to God for support and to the Bible for comfort and instruction. However, I was always sickly and timid. I was introduced to Christian Science through my mother's healing after eighteen years of semi-invalidism. Since then the other members of the family, their children, and I have relied upon it entirely.

My first healing took place when a chemical got into my eyes. At the time I was away from home with friends who were not interested in what they thought Christian Science was. They were greatly concerned, but instantly the statement came to me that I had heard read from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 471), "God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence." Calmness filled my thought. I asked to be taken home, called a practitioner, and by morning I could see clearly.
