Testimonies of Healing

From the October 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In my youth, I was unable to go to school steadily because of physical frailty. Doctors were treating me constantly for a heart condition, tuberculosis, and stomach trouble. There was little that I could eat, and my parents had spent much money caring for me.

One day, while on a visit to a doctor in another city, I was told that I had only six months to live. At this very time I awoke to the need of turning wholeheartedly to God for my help. Later that day, while waiting for a boat to take me back to my hometown, I earnestly prayed, saying: "O God, there must be a way out of this. Show me the way."

As I pondered this prayer, my eyes rested on a magazine rack nearby which I had not noticed before. It so attracted me that I went at once and selected a copy of the literature, which was a Christian Science Sentinel. As I opened the Sentinel, I found I had turned to a testimony of one who had been healed of heart trouble. This was indeed an angel message.
