Testimonies of Healing

When I was a child, Christian Science...

From the May 1959 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When I was a child, Christian Science was presented to my mother on the day the doctor said that she could not possibly live through the night. For many years she had suffered from pellagra, but that day a Christian Science practitioner was called, and my mother was instantaneously healed. She slept through the night, arose the next morning, and began to take care of her home and family.

I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School and later became a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church and have had the priceless privilege of class instruction and of serving in church activities.

We have had many unmistakable proofs of God's loving care in our family. When our older son was attending high school, he suffered a sunstroke while playing football. He was taken off the field, and by the time I reached him he was in a stupor and did not recognize me. However, as I sat beside him he became quiet, and I finally persuaded the two men who were taking care of him to leave me alone with him.
