Testimonies of Healing
From the age of nine I attended a Christian Science Sunday School and shall always be grateful to my many teachers for what I now realize was a very thorough grounding in the fundamental teachings of this Science. For some years after leaving Sunday School, I applied Christian Science in a desultory fashion when confronted with personal problems or those connected with my job.
It has been some ten years since my last testimony was published in one of the Christian Science periodicals. So much good has unfolded in the intervening years that once again I would like to share my blessings with others.
It is with gratitude and much love for our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, that I offer this testimony.
Christian Science came into my experience many years ago when a relative offered me a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.
Twenty-one years ago while in England, I learned for the first time of Christian Science. I returned to my homeland and told my family about Christian Science, especially that one could really remain well without the use of medicine.
For a long time I have wished to submit a testimony of the healing and regenerating effect of Christian Science. This religion was brought into my life through the healing of my mother when I was a small child.
In April, 1964, I had a loss which gave me a great shock. I could not understand why things had not worked out the way I felt they should have.
The past thirteen years of study in Christian Science have been the most wonderful years of my life. I am thrilled to have let go of the belief that it was up to me personally to keep myself healthy.
Christian Science came into my life through my grandfather, who was a consecrated student of Christian Science. I am very grateful for this blessing.
For over thirty years Christian Science has been my only physician, my protector, my way of life. My first healing was that of a disastrously unhappy marriage which had put me in such a state of despair that the thought of going on living was almost more than I could bear.
