Testimonies of Healing

I cannot measure the good derived from my study and application of Christian Science. There have been many beautiful healings and proofs of God's protective care.

Long before the turn of the century my grandmother was healed through Christian Science treatment of a condition that had been pronounced incurable by the doctors; all hope of her recovery had been abandoned. After her healing she lived an active and full life, to more than eighty years of age.

At one time I had over three dozen warts on my hands. I had been praying over a desire to have Christian Science class instruction and trusting the Father's guidance.

How grateful I am that my mother recognized Christian Science as the truth that heals when it was first presented to her. As an infant, I suffered from a nervous condition, which resulted in a severe case of eczema.

Before I met the man who was to become my husband, I was under the impression that Christian Scientists were "a bunch of kooks who did not believe in doctors. " In fact, if I had known my husband was a Christian Scientist when I met him, I would never have dated him in the first place.

Over fifty years ago, my mother enrolled me in the Sunday School of The Mother Church. At that time we had come to live in a home with a Christian Science practitioner.

Christian Science has taught me and my family to expect nothing but good from an ever-present and loving God. It has been fifteen years since I submitted my last testimony, but never a day goes by that I do not reflect with gratitude on the many blessings that this Science of spiritual healing has brought us.

I attended Christian Science Sunday School during my childhood until the age of twenty, and I had the privilege of growing up in a home where this teaching was lived and practiced. With the help of Science, shyness, teen-age problems, difficult relationships, and the choice of a profession were beautifully resolved.

While I was working as a secretary for a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship I developed a painful condition in my hands. This was a very busy time, and it was most inconvenient that this problem interfered with my typing.

I had been studying Christian Science less than a year when I found myself with symptoms of pneumonia. This condition had occurred in my life three times before.
