Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science was first introduced to our family eleven years ago. After reading the periodicals given to us my husband and I decided to enroll the children in the Sunday School without delay.
One morning I wakened not feeling too well, but I thought I would be able to complete my day's work, and so went to work as usual. Since at noontime I was quite uncomfortable, I felt that the best thing to do would be to go home and do some studying.
It is with great joy and much humility that I relate a healing I had three years ago. While working on a construction job, I was balanced on top of a six-foot-high fence.
A few years ago sores appeared on the upper portion of my body, especially on my head and ears. They were constantly draining, and the condition was frightening.
For over thirty years the members of my family and I have been guided, healed, and blessed through an understanding of the truth as taught in Christian Science. During these years I have relied entirely on God for healing as revealed by this Science.
In 1909, during my service in the United States Navy, I saw Christian Science in action for the first time. This experience has always held profound meaning for me.
As a boy, I learned of Christian Science from my mother. She talked to me about it, and although I feel now the groundwork was laid at that time, I did not study or follow its teachings as I grew to manhood.
The greatest blessing I have ever experienced was the coming into my life of Christian Science. It brought far-reaching changes of character, with resultant healing of severe bodily ills.
I am grateful for the many healings I have witnessed in Christian Science, and for Mary Baker Eddy, who gave this great religion to the world. For some years, before becoming a student myself, I had a very wrong idea about Mrs.
The benefits I have received through the study and application of Christian Science have been many and varied. It was my privilege to attend the Christian Science Sunday School, and, as a boy, I was quickly healed of a number of so-called childhood illnesses.
