Testimonies of Healing

For five generations members of our...

From the July 1976 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For five generations members of our family have witnessed and experienced many healings in Christian Science. My grandmother was healed completely when in the final stages of what was medically diagnosed as cancer of the stomach. Today my grandchildren are learning the same vital truths in the Christian Science Sunday School.

My own testimony must begin with gratitude for my parents, devoted and consecrated Christian Scientists, who taught me from an early age to turn to God in prayer, to the Bible, and to Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy for answers to every problem. The answer has always been found. All through school, during a short time in the business world, through marriage and the rearing of two children, and now in another active occupation, the teachings, elucidated by class instruction, have been my spiritual security.

At a time when I was busy with our small family, worry and false responsibility resulted in a very challenging nervous condition. I was supported often by the prayers of a Christian Science practitioner during the two years it took for me to be completely free of this condition. No one but my husband and the practitioner knew that I was ill. I shall always be grateful for the unselfish love of my husband, who many times at night would read to me for long periods from the Bible, Mrs. Eddy's writings, and the Christian Science periodicals, even though his daily work demanded much of him at that time. My church work and my home activities were carried on with few interruptions.
