For more than fifty years Christian Science...

From the August 1974 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For more than fifty years Christian Science has guided, comforted, and healed me and my family. I was a little girl when my parents were first introduced to this religion. For years my father had suffered from frequent bilious attacks, and from a heart condition that limited his physical activity. After he and my mother took up the study of Science together, Father was gradually released from all his physical problems. At the age of forty he began to enjoy life for the first time: he could run, swim, and engage in athletics. He was a changed man and lived a very active life from that time on.

With a heart full of gratitude I would like to share some of the many healings I have had. One was the overcoming of deafness, which persisted for several years. During this time I attended Sunday services, Wednesday evening testimony meetings, and Christian Science lectures without being able to hear a word that was read or said; but I always clung to the thought that the truth would permeate my consciousness because Truth is omnipotent. Eventually the obstacle to my hearing vanished completely, and I now hear perfectly.

A long siege of asthma was overcome through the prayers of a Christian Science practitioner. The condition occurred during a distressing situation in my home; but, like the deafness, it too vanished and left me whole and rejoicing with gratitude.
