Testimonies of Healing

Words are inadequate to express my deep gratitude for Christian Science. I am very grateful to God; to Christ Jesus; and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy; also for our literature and the church services and the Reading Rooms.

It is impossible for me to tell all that Christian Science has done for me, but I desire to express my gratitude for some of the many blessings that I have enjoyed through this beautiful religion. It was in 1914 that I received my first healing through Christian Science treatment.

Twenty-six years ago, when I was suffering from a great sorrow and ill health, a dear relative said to me, "I know if you would read 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures' by Mary Baker Eddy, you would get help. " I agreed to do as I was told; and as I began with the Preface, the first words my eyes fell upon were, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.

For nearly nineteen years we have enjoyed the benefits and freedom derived from the study of Christian Science. Our gratitude is measureless.

About three years ago I had a beautiful healing of a broken arm entirely through the power of Truth, as we are taught to apply it in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I caught my heel on the top step of a long flight of stairs and fell heavily into the hall below.

As a child I attended a Protestant church and Sunday school and loved their teachings, but they did not go far enough. I asked to see results in the form of physical healings, and very early questioned why these results were not accomplished.

I did not come to Christian Science for healing; I sought it for a religion. After being a member and ardent worker in an orthodox church for thirty years, I became very unhappy and felt I was walking in darkness spiritually.

It is about twenty years since I first took up the study of Christian Science. During these years it has been my privilege to witness and to experience many wonderful healings.

A Grateful heart impels me to testify to the wonderful help I have received in Christian Science. In November, 1924, I was suffering from a bad festering on my left forefinger.

I should like to give my testimony of Christian Science healing and why I became interested in Christian Science. A school-teacher had been telling us for some time that a dear one did not need to suffer, and we said we should like to know how it could be prevented, as our efforts had been exhausted so far as we knew.
