Testimonies of Healing

Such great gratitude fills my thought...

From the January 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Such great gratitude fills my thought when I realize what Christian Science has done for me and my children that I want to share my happiness in the hope of helping someone who needs help. It was nineteen years ago that curiosity led me to a Church of Christ, Scientist, and from the first I was overjoyed with its teachings. They pointed up all the wonderful truths in the Bible to which I had never been awake before.

My two children were entered in the Christian Science Sunday School, and through the application of the truth, so-called children's diseases were quickly routed. During a polio epidemic one of my sons manifested symptoms of the disease and could not walk. I instantly turned away from the material picture and refused to accept mortal mind's verdict. Then I called a Christian Science practitioner, saying: "I don't understand how this condition could possibly manifest itself on my child when I kept knowing the epidemic could not touch him."

The practitioner said, "In reality there is no epidemic, because there is no polio."
