Testimonies of Healing
When Christian Science was first presented to me nearly twenty years ago I was greatly in need of mental and physical healing. Christian Science meant something more than this healing, for it helped me to find God.
I thank our Father-Mother God for revealing Christian Science to Mrs. Eddy.
So much good has come into my life through Christian Science that I should like to bring my tithe of gratitude into the storehouse. For years my great desire was to find Truth.
At an early age I began to seek an understanding of the Bible and how the commandments therein were to be obeyed. My questions were not answered by Sunday school teachers and ministers.
Ten years ago I began earnestly to investigate the teachings of Christian Science. While at that time this doctrine seemed to me too transcendental for practical application, I finally decided, after much tender persuasion by some ladies who shared my home, to find out whether or not it was the wonderful revelation its adherents claimed it to be; for they had told me that this proof was available to all.
I wish to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me, and is doing for all mankind. Having been born and raised in this Science, with no other help, I have had many wonderful proofs of the efficacy and healing power of Life, Truth, and Love.
" Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " Early in my experience in Christian Science it was proved to me that one has to know the truth, not simply repeat words concerning the truth.
In the autumn of 1922 I was taken suddenly ill with pains in my body. My husband sent for a doctor, who diagnosed the case as one of fever and, at his third visit, pronounced it peritonitis.
At one time my youngest child became very ill. A Christian Science practitioner was called on the telephone, and in less than three days he was well, having in that time passed through all the stages of a severe case of measles.
Along with many thousands of others I should like to express my sincere gratitude for all that Christian Science is doing for me, for mine, and for all mankind. I have been helped in many ways, physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually.
