Testimonies of Healing

One Saturday I asked a Christian Science practitioner to help me through Christian Science treatment to destroy a severe case of influenza. By the following Monday there was very little physical improvement, but it was essential for me to be in the office to take over a new department and handle many items requiring immediate attention.

I can hardly find adequate words to express my deep gratitude for Christian Science. For me, it is truly the central interest in my life.

One day in response to an application for employment I received an airmail letter from a school in Honolulu offering me a contract for the coming year and instructing me to reply at once. This letter had been forwarded to me from my former address, and upon receiving it, to my momentary dismay, I saw from the dates that it had been held for two weeks prior to being forwarded.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude to God for leading me into Christian Science that I submit this testimony in the hope that it will help others see that "with God all things are possible" ( Matt. 19:26 ).

My introduction to Christian Science came at the age of four years when I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School. The logic of its teachings and the intelligent presentation of the Bible to the young children, in contrast to the parties and play I had experienced in the orthodox Sunday School I formerly attended, were apparent to me even at that early age.

My father became a Christian Scientist in my early childhood, but Science was not accepted for the children of the family. He was completely transformed and given a new start in life through Christian Science.

Christian Science found me at a time of extreme need. We had transferred from our city dwelling to a small Kansas farm town.

From early childhood, through my school years, my marriage, and my part in rearing three children, Christian Science has been a beacon, a bulwark, and a blessing. Through innumerable and varied phases of human experience it has brought me satisfying answers and solutions.

For some time I have felt I must express the deep sense of gratitude I have for the great change which has taken place in my whole existence since I learned of Christian Science. As a small child I was highly strung and felt joys and sorrows intensely.

My first healing through Christian Science was that of measles and took place when I was a little girl. I remember that a practitioner came and sat quietly by my bedside when I was tossing and turning.
