Testimonies of Healing

In deepest love and gratitude I send my testimony. I realized only a short time ago what my first healing in Christian Science really was—the overcoming of any reliance on material means in sickness.

My coming into Christian Science was not for physical healing, or because I was spiritually dissatisfied, as has been the experience of many, but because my husband became interested after a sudden illness of which he was instantaneously healed through the power of Truth, and as we had always lived together very harmoniously in thought, I felt I must have what he had. It was at first difficult for me to understand Christian Science, but the understanding I now have has brought many joys.

Acknowledgment of the many blessings I have received through the understanding of Christian Science has always brought me a sense of that divine strength of which Mrs. Eddy speaks, when she says ( Science and Health, p.

We have been benefited greatly since the knowledge of Christian Science came into our home. My mother had an abnormal growth for about fifteen years.

It is a little over two years since I became interested in Christian Science. I had gone through two operations in three years, and was a nervous wreck, dragging out a miserable existence.

Words would fail me to express my gratitude for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science. It came to me when I was sorely in need of help, in what seemed to me the first real grief I ever knew, and although I had been a member of a church for twenty-three years I never knew God until after taking up the study of Christian Science.

It was in Paris, six years ago, that I first heard of Christian Science, and I am ashamed to have let so much time pass without expressing publicly my deep gratitude and thankfulness for the healings and help I have received. I have been protected and strengthened in every danger and difficulty since I knew about this saving truth.

My healing was most remarkable inasmuch as in one absent treatment from a Christian Science practitioner I was healed of a disease said to be peculiar, and pronounced incurable by medical science. I had lived in an extremely high altitude for several years, but was apparently in perfect health, when after an illness of only a few days a disease developed which baffled the most skilled physicians.

During the lifetime that it has been my privilege to spend under the protecting care of Christian Science I have had many healings, both physical and moral, that are truly miracles of Love. It would be impossible to recount here all the healings that God wrought for me in childhood; and in the later and more trying years of schooling which followed, that same protection has been with me, removing mental and physical limitations of all kinds and directing me to an enlarged understanding of God.

Several years ago I had all the hospital training necessary to make me a fully qualified nurse, so that I might help the sick and suffering as much as possible; but when all that medical knowledge had been gained I found it did not help as I expected, and there seemed so many hopeless cases that it made me sad and disappointed. As time went on I longed for something which would really help, not just one case here and there, but every one.
