Testimonies of Healing

IN the hope that my experience may help others to find the sure way out of what is to mortal sense a hopeless situation, I will say that my life, health, and happiness are due to the understanding of God and of man, created by Him in His image and likeness, as explained in Christian Science. Riding in an automobile, a sudden turning by the driver threw me to the paved street, my head struck the street car rail and I became unconscious.

Christian Science came into my experience when I was so young that I cannot remember being without an implicit confidence in God's readiness and power to make life happy for me. This confidence remained and was added to as years passed by, although it seemed as if other people played an important part in the process of healing, and I seldom tried to apply the rules for myself since it was so easy to get help by asking some member of the family for it.

In Isaiah we read, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call. I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

I wish to testify to a healing which took place in our home. Our cousin, a child of a few years, was taken sick with tuberculosis.

When I think of the debt I owe to Mary Baker Eddy for the purity of thought which enabled her to conceive of and to present to us the truth, which had for centuries been a hidden mystery, I find myself at a disadvantage to know how to express gratitude. I am, however, daily striving to deserve the "well done" which comes when one has passed through the three stages of growth mentioned by Mrs.

Christian Science is the greatest thing that can come into any one's life; it satisfies. The knowledge that Christian Science is the truth gives us a firm foundation and nerves every endeavor.

During the years that I have been a student of Christian Science I have been healed of many physical troubles. When I first began to read "Science and Health with key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy I was melancholy, worried, and distressed over conditions in my home, filled with self-pity, and full of ceaseless questionings.

I wish to relate briefly what Christian Science has done for me. The greatest and most priceless blessing to me is that I have found peace— that peace of which Jesus speaks: "Peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth give I unto you.

It is many years since I first heard of Christian Science or even the name of Mary Baker Eddy, the author of that wonderful book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which was brought into our home by a son who was in search of health. By daily reading and studying I have come to know something of the allness, the greatness of the divine Mind who rules over all.

As I have been studying Christian Science for many years. I think it is high time that I give my testimony to the world, through our periodicals.
