Testimonies of Healing

I was sent to the Christian Science Sunday School when I was a young teenager. I was convinced of the efficacy of this Science when I consulted a practitioner about finding employment upon graduating from high school during the depression years.

My first exposure to Christian Science came while I was still in high school. I could not accept the teaching at the time.

Early in my study of Christian Science I learned the wisdom of not being impressed with afflictive material conditions. In rearing three children, I found when I refused to focus attention on cuts, bruises, or other difficulties, and declared the truth of man's spiritual identity, healings came quickly.

For a number of years our family has depended on Christian Science for healing. During our forty-one years of married life, I never knew my wife to stay in bed a single day, except when our daughters arrived; and their births occurred naturally, quickly, and happily in our home.

Over the years the study of Christian Science has been my primary source of enrichment, satisfaction, healing, and guidance. The power of God's Word has been particularly helpful to me on many occasions in solving acute problems of human relationships during an active military career.

Over the years Christian Science has given me much to be grateful for. A healing I would like to relate concerns a college education for my daughter.

Our youngest son was born with a very prominent birthmark covering his forehead. His appearance was shocking and heartbreaking to me.

Christian Science came to our family when my mother had a beautiful healing after her study of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Later one of my sisters had three outstanding healings.

Eight years ago I had a job requiring me to have facility with my hands, to learn new skills, to devise new systems for the work, and to teach the skills and the systems to others and supervise their work. When I began having pain as I moved my fingers, I endured the discomfort instead of making the effort to heal it, because it seemed necessary to study and think about the work and the personnel almost all the time.

Several years ago I was suffering from a fever that the doctors said was caused by an infection. I underwent various operations in order to be rid of the infection.
