Testimonies of Healing

When I first became interested in Christian Science...

From the January 1961 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When I first became interested in Christian Science I was bedridden and without hope. Many fine doctors had said that all that was left for me was death. In addition, I was in much pain and had defective eyesight. I could only faintly see the difference between light and darkness. For months I had spent all the waking hours in bed in a dimly lighted room and with a dark cloth over my eyes.

After a Christian Science practitioner had given me treatment through prayer for only two or three days, I was out of bed, sitting outdoors reading, with the full sun on the pages, the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. During over a quarter of a century since then I have experienced many wonderful results through the application of this truth to all problems of daily living.

A number of years ago I lay down for a nap, and the children passing by awakened me with their happy noise. I could not see them, for I was totally blind. The thought then flashed back through memory that many years ago the doctors had predicted this condition and had said there was nothing they could do for it.
