Testimonies of Healing
Some years ago I served my branch church as Second Reader. A few months after taking up this duty I caught cold, and it manifested itself in a total loss of voice.
Back at college a week after Christmas holiday, I checked into the infirmary early Thursday of rush week. I was quite weak and slept most of the day.
When studying the lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly entitled "God the Preserver of Man," I am reminded of many instances in my family when God was indeed the preserver of man. I would like to relate one such instance and how trusting God, the strong deliverer, brought the healing.
How great is God's goodness, and how selfless the life of Mrs. Eddy to help us bear witness to God's goodness in such abundant proof! Christian Science came to me through a wonderful marriage, which continues to grow in affection, respect, and joy, as do daily blessings of health and supply for our family.
I have had many blessings and healings through the study and application of Christian Science for the last thirty years. One outstanding healing was that of a growth on my face which had been there for several years, and it had grown larger.
Christian Science has brought great good into my life. In our family of four, God has been our only physician for over twenty years.
Christian Science was presented to me through the beautiful example of a life lived in accordance with divine Principle. It was a revelation to me to watch this beloved friend in her contacts with others.
I had been married about six years, and had a son a year old, when I felt myself becoming very depressed and despondent. I was very tired and seemed to be disillusioned with marriage and life in general.
"You ought to try Christian Science!" These words were spoken to us with great compassion some thirty years ago, when my husband was incapacitated a great deal of the time with attacks of asthma. We were at a very low ebb financially, and we had two babies to care for.
As a child I was given a copy of Science and Health. When I was in high school, my voice teacher was a Christian Scientist On the day of my recital my voice was very hoarse.
