Testimonies of Healing

For a long time now I have had the longing to express my gratitude for Christian Science and to share the blessings with others. Through Christian Science, Mrs.

I am happy to submit the following testimony. Being a resident of California, I have been aware of the many so-called fad or cult religions that seem to spring up periodically.

We lived for some years in an area where a large and militant religious majority at times treated those who were not part of it with much bigotry and frequently with hatred stemming from ignorance and fear. In the midst of these attitudes we found a house, though we were turned away from more than a few doors because we were not of the prevailing faith.

I was introduced to Christian Science in 1939 by a dear aunt. My husband had been suffering from heart disease.

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.
