Testimonies of Healing

Many times I have had the desire to write my testimony for the Journal or Sentinel, and be a grateful witness to the healing power of Christian Science in every problem. When I was a little girl Christian Science came into my life through my mother, but I did not make it my own until after I left my home and had to stand alone with God.

Christian Science came to me after I had made an earnest search in the Bible to find an explanation of the healing work of Jesus and his disciples and the early Christians. I knew that the answer was specifically given in the sixth chapter of John's gospel, where Jesus pointed his disciples away from matter to Spirit as the source of life, but not until "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was placed in my hands was the science of the Bible explained so clearly that I was enabled to see conclusively the nothingness of matter, and that, as Mrs.

During the summer of 1916. while working at my trade as a carpenter.

It is many years since I first began the study and practice of Christian Science, and I am more grateful than words can express for this revelation of Truth, given to us by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. Several years ago I gave a testimony which was printed in The Christian Science Journal, and I now feel I must once again tell others that this truth has never failed me and I know it never will, as I am daily gaining more reliance upon God.

Christian Science is the greatest blessing that has come into my life, for it meets every need when rightly applied. Words fail to express my gratitude for this wonderful truth— the truth that makes one free.

I Feel glad to express my deep gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. It is now teen years since I first heard about it through a friend who took me to a Sunday service.

I am thinking it is time to make acknowledgment of the blessings received from the study of Christian Science. The first benefit that came to me was freedom from neuralgia, which had caused me much suffering for years and for which no material remedy seemed to give relief; also recovery from diabetes of nearly a year's standing.

I became interested in Christian Science a number of years ago, when suffering from a nervous breakdown, with weakness and mental distress, also loss of sleep, suggestions of self-destruction dread of insanity, and fear of ending my days in an asylum. I was in hell day and night and my one desire was that God would take me out of my misery.

The Wednesday evening testimony meeting is such a blessing to all who have the privilege of attending, but there are so many who are unable to participate and I feel that our Journal and Sentinel are further channels for this blessing, so I wish to contribute this testimony. For many years it has been my joy to acquaint myself with the teachings of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I have we read so many testimonies in the Sentinel and Journal by which I have been benefited that I am ashamed for not sending mine sooner. I found Christian Science several years ago, and I did not find it any too soon for I had one foot about in the grave, but thanks to God and our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I was snatched from it in time.
