Testimonies of Healing

I shall ever be grateful that my search to know more of God led me to try Christian Science. I knew God existed, but I had no answer to the question, "Who and what is God?" Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of Mary, was equally a mystery to me.

When I was introduced to Christian Science, a tremendous sense of burden, lack, discord, and frustration seemed to be consuming my life. I had always attended a Protestant church, taking part in the activities of the church and Sunday School.

This testimony is written as a statement of gratitude for Christian Science. A dear aunt, a listed practitioner in the  Journal  for many years, lived this religion in her daily life.

My testimony relates to a business property we owned in a riot-torn city and how Christian Science helped all through the experience. The property was our principal source of income.

Two years ago I was asked to accompany two friends on a conducted tour to the Hawaiian Islands. One morning we walked along the shore at Maui.

As one raised in Christian Science, I have learned to expect healing and joy as a way of life. One healing that stands out to me occurred when our youngest child, then three years old, had whooping cough.

My deepest gratitude is extended to my husband and to those dear childhood friends who showed me Christian Science, a religion so usable in our everyday affairs. When I was a senior in college and first learning to apply Christian Science, I found myself in a course entitled "Mass Communications.

I wish to testify to the healing power of prayer to God. In my boyhood and early manhood I had great faith in God and in the power of prayer to heal the sick.

I thank my parents for putting me into a Christian Science Sunday School infant class. And when I was twelve, they encouraged me to join The Mother Church.

During the many years I have known of Christian Science, I have never ceased to be grateful for having found it. In this Science, through my study of it, the word religion has taken on for me a truly spiritual meaning and also a practical one.
