Testimonies of Healing

My first healing was that of eyesight. Eye specialists had told me I would have to wear glasses as long as I lived.

Christian Science was presented to me thirteen years ago, and I immediately embraced it as the "pearl of great price. " I knew at once that at last I had found what I had been looking for since my earliest childhood, namely, the knowledge of a perfect God, who could send no sin, sickness, or death, and of man, to whom was given as a divine birthright all good.

Since Christian Science first came to me through hearing the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, read aloud at home, and attendance at the Sunday school of a branch church, I have often asked myself the question, What do people do without Christian Science? In times of trial, instead of trusting blindly to an unknown God or petitioning a manlike Jehovah, the Christian Scientist has learned to apply the truth that God is the divine Principle, Life, Truth, and Love. Through Christian Science treatment I have been healed of diphtheria overnight, and have had colds, headaches, and indigestion quickly disappear.

Words are inadequate to express the gratitude that I feel for the joy and blessings which the study of Christian Science has brought to me. Through the faithful help and patience of a loyal practitioner I have experienced many healings.

When I was ten years old, an aunt experienced a remarkable healing which led our whole family to the study of Christian Science. I recall with joy the peace which came to me when I first heard a little prayer that was given to us at this time.

"Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. " With all my heart I am grateful for the many blessings I have received in Christian Science.

Many years ago, at a time of great need, through a dear aunt I came into Christian Science, after our family doctor had done the best he could for me. Since then I have experienced many healings through the application of this truth, one of which I should like to tell in the hope that it may help someone.

It is with a great sense of gratitude that I wish to give my testimony for the blessings I have received in Christian Science. One day I felt great irritation near the right eye.

My family and I have for many years experienced the blessings of Christian Science, its healing and protection; for which we are most grateful. About four years ago when difficulties seemed overwhelming, I yielded to a sense of distress and worry and drifted into a wretched physical condition.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science and what it has done for my husband and our little boy. After I had been to two church services to learn what Christian Science was, my husband was taken very ill with shingles in the worst form.
