Testimonies of Healing
Many years ago my mother told me that Christian Science was to be demonstrated daily and was not to be put on like a pretty dress for Sunday School. That was one of the sayings her father gave her, and for three generations Christian Science has been daily bread, physician, and guide in our family.
In our family we have had many healings and blessings. Each one has given us a deeper understanding of man's unity with our Father-Mother God.
Christian Science has met my every need throughout a successful career in public service. During the flu epidemic in 1918, I was sent home from school by the school doctor, who said that I had all the symptoms of this disease.
The Psalmist had a clear conviction of the ever-presence of God when he wrote ( Ps. 46: l ), "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Christian Science is an entirely new way of life, and I am unspeakably grateful for having been given the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, many years ago.
The truth of a statement by Mrs. Eddy has been brought home to me many times ( Science and Health , p.
For more than fifty years the teachings of Christian Science have brought me healing, wise counsel, and peace of mind whenever I have turned to them wholeheartedly. As a child I had the benefit of Christian Science Sunday School teaching and the help of my mother and, when needed, of a Christian Science practitioner, who was listed in the Journal.
It is with a grateful heart for the many healings my family and I have received through Christian Science that I submit my testimony. When I was in my late teens and a student in the Christian Science Sunday School, I witnessed my first healing in Christian Science.
Through fulfilling God's laws, obeying His commands, and steadfastly acknowledging His allness, my family and I have had many beautiful demonstrations of the healing truths of Christian Science. Some years ago, before my study of Christian Science, I was afflicted with a skin condition.
In the book of Isaiah we read ( 45:23 ), "Unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. " A variety of experiences have helped me to understand and obey this basic truth.
