Testimonies of Healing
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 family and I have enjoyed the healing power of Christian Science for many years. I came into Science as a young girl after witnessing my mother's healing of a severe nervous breakdown.
The great good that Christian Science is doing in the world today makes us all who understand it appreciate Mrs. Eddy's love for mankind and her life of self-sacrifice.
