Testimonies of Healing

My first testimony was published in the...

From the November 1954 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My first testimony was published in the Christian Science Sentinel of June 16, 1945. Now I should like to share a few more of my experiences along the road from sense to Soul. During nearly four years of service in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, I received several almost instantaneous healings. One of them was that of a burn. I declined the offer to be taken to sick bay and recalled Mrs. Eddy's words in Science and Health (p. 161): "You say, 'I have burned my finger.' This is an exact statement, more exact than you suppose; for mortal mind, and not matter, burns it." The complete healing was soon evident.

At another time I had to overcome the effects of a wasp sting. I am particularly grateful that I was able to approach the problem from a Christianly scientific basis, for I realized quick freedom from discomfort as I rejoiced in the tenth verse of the ninety-first Psalm: "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." By the next morning my arm was entirely normal.

When struck down by a heavy lorry, I declared that in reality man is unfallen and upright, and I started to rise even before the occupants of the lorry assisted me. I went on my way rejoicing and spent the afternoon with relatives, who knew nothing of the wonderful protection I had just experienced. A bruised hip which I had received was quickly healed.
