Testimonies of Healing

Late in the nineteenth century when my grandparents were in great need of help, a neighbor gave them a copy of the textbook,  Science and Health  by Mrs. Eddy.

Christian Science has been the leading light of my experience throughout a wonderful lifetime. Two other testimonies of my healing experiences have been published in the Christian Science periodicals in the past, but I wish to express gratitude for an added blessing.

Since 1959, when my first testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel, I have enjoyed many blessings through the study of Christian Science. I should like to relate how the sustaining power of this religion supported me during the last five years when I suddenly found myself alone and confronted with difficult business problems.

I am very grateful for the many healings my family and I have had during past years as a result of relying solely on the teachings of Christian Science. Some of these healings were related in a testimony published in the Journal in January, 1966.

In December two years ago I suddenly contracted a disease of the respiratory tract and other organs. I was not able, as in previous simpler cases, to master this error with my own prayer.

I started to study Christian Science in 1965, after a copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, was given my daughter.

So much good has poured into my life since my last testimony was printed in 1964 that I am compelled to express my gratitude again. Soon after our first child was born, I had a serious hemorrhage that was healed in one treatment with the help of a Christian Science practitioner.

Some years ago one of our sons, just out of high school, was offered an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. His high school average reflected doubt that he could pass the academy entrance examinations without the help of a preparatory course, so we decided on a prep school and made arrangements for his enrollment.

Fifty years ago Christian Science came to me as an answer to prayer. When I was a young woman, I began to suffer with facial paralysis.

I feel deep gratitude for Christian Science. Its blessings have been available to me all my life.
