Testimonies of Healing

The privilege of being taught the truths...

From the October 1949 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The privilege of being taught the truths of Christian Science in the Sunday School is one of the joys I shall always remember, but it was not until some years later, after many trials and difficulties had been faced, that I really appreciated the wonderful teaching that Mrs. Eddy has given us.

I had become morally and physically ill. My father urged me to try to really understand what I had been taught in the Sunday School. I heeded his loving advice and began reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy with a humble desire to know the truth. I read all day and far into the night. The next day I was filled with joy and happiness beyond words. I had glimpsed something of the great truth of being. The problem of unemployment was quickly solved. Since that time many uplifting experiences have been mine. I was freed of an internal disorder, and at the same time was instantaneously healed of the smoking habit.

A strong sense of inferiority gradually disappeared when I learned that God is the Father of all and that man is His image and likeness. This healing brought with it the added joy of church membership, true companionship, and a happy home of my own.
