Testimonies of Healing

It was in 1919 that I began the study of Christian Science in earnest. At three different times in previous years I had attempted to take it up, but failed because of prejudice and lack of interest.

I left school and started earning my own living at an early age, and at thirty was sales manager of a large concern, happily married, and established in a position in which I was considered quite a success. Just about this time Christian Science was brought to my attention, and, not having been a church member, or in sympathy with any of the established forms of religion, although naturally of a somewhat religious turn, I eagerly embraced this beautiful teaching.

For the wondrous light and liberty, the freedom, joy, and satisfaction that have been revealed to me through the study of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I shall ever be grateful. When Christian Science was first brought to my notice I was morbid, lonely, unhappy, looking for something to satisfy my deep need.

I came to Christian Science about fourteen years ago for the healing of a skin disease known to the medical profession as butterfly lupus, after having doctored with various physicians and having had treatment from two very eminent skin specialists. I had also tried various lotions and medicines, finally resorting to X-ray treatment, but all to no avail.

Christian Science heals. The truth of this statement has been abundantly proved in my experience all along the way since first the healing ministry of this blessed revelation of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, broke the gloom of a wretched little home and lifted a hopeless sufferer therein into health and happiness.

I am very glad to testify to the healing power of Truth, as manifested in the case of my daughter, a few years ago. Finding at the end of a week that my understanding of Christian Science was not sufficient to handle the case, we asked a dear practitioner for help.

I am grateful for many blessings received through Christian Science. It has been my only physician since 1914.

When I came into Christian Science over ten years ago, I was on a strict diet, afraid to eat, on the verge of despair, and could not walk one block without suffering. The physician, who was kind and tender, could do nothing for me.

When I turned to Christian Science, it was not so much for the physical healing, although I very much needed it, as it was to know and to understand God. I had attended Christian Science services for a year, and was much impressed with the happiness I saw in the faces of those attending.

I am so grateful for the many proofs of God's ever present love and careful guidance of His children which the study of Christian Science has revealed, that I wish to express my gratitude through the periodicals which have been such a help to me. Christian Science came to my attention about five years ago while I was training in a medical hospital.
