Testimonies of Healing

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I testify to the many blessings, physical and moral, which I have received through Christian Science. For two years I had been treated by oculists, having worn glasses for a long time to correct a defect from birth, which was every day getting worse, and my sight was also being weakened through the strain of night work which I had had to do.

I am writing this testimony hoping that it will help those who are easily discouraged to take courage and still go on with Christian Science. Periodically I had been suddenly attacked with severe pains in my stomach, so severe that I have been obliged to go to bed, use a hot water bottle, and take a hot drink.

I am truly grateful to God, also to Mrs. Eddy for the healing through Christian Science of what the doctors claimed to be muscular rheumatism in its worst form.

There had never been a moment in my experience in which such wonderful and happy changes had taken place as when I received my first treatment in Christian Science. I had enjoyed comparatively good health until about twenty-five years ago when I began to suffer most severely with what the physicians pronounced to be gallstones.

For twelve years it has been my privilege to witness the healing of disease through Christian Science. The effect of the scientific application of the understanding of Principle in the treatment of bodily ills no longer seems miraculous, and while I am deeply grateful for what I have seen in this direction I am most grateful for what I know of the power of divine Mind in human affairs.

Inherent in human nature is the deep-seated desire to know and understand causation. At the age of thirteen I was taken regularly from a denominational Sunday school to attend the lectures of an ethical society and then and there began a mental chemicalization on the subject of religion that never ended until the ceaseless and persistent questions thus aroused were fully and finally answered in Christian Science.

For all the health and happiness that Christian Science has brought into my life, I am deeply grateful. My first healing in Science was from heart strain.

I have realized so much good from reading the testimonies of others that I would like to testify to the great blessing Christian Science is to me. I have been blessed in so many ways through the study of this truth.

Before becoming a student of Christian Science, I looked upon Scientists, as many do who are misinformed, as worshiping Mrs. Eddy.

For the past seven years Christian Science has been a constant help, giving me comfort, healing, and joy anew every day; but what I am most thankful for is the understanding of God as Father-Mother. This came to me just before I had to part with my son two years ago, when he had to join the army.
