Testimonies of Healing

Knowing that the purpose of our testimonies...

From the August 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Knowing that the purpose of our testimonies is to glorify God and bless our fellow men, I feel it is time for me to give another testimony showing God's power to heal.

My first testimony appeared in the Journal for May, 1951. It told of a healing of heart trouble, high blood pressure, and other complications which the physicians said were incurable. However, their verdict was proved erroneous in accordance with Mrs. Eddy's statement (Science and Health, pp. 380, 381), "Every law of matter or the body, supposed to govern man, is rendered null and void by the law of Life, God."

I have had many healings since then; however, I would like to express gratitude for one in particular. This healing demonstrated to me again that to God all things are possible, and when we apply scientific prayer, prayer based on the spiritual understanding of God, healing must take place. About fifteen years ago, before I became a Christian Scientist, I had suffered for about a year from a stone in the kidney. During this time I had painful attacks of colic, and was forced to use narcotics and instrumental manipulation. Finally a stone passed with quite a bit of pain and hemorrhage.
