Testimonies of Healing

A kindly neighbor invited my sister and me to accompany him to Christian Science church services on Sunday morning. This was our first introduction to Christian Science.

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" ( Ps. 107:2 ).

The power of Truth, applied through Christian Science, was demonstrated in negotiations for a new labor contract. The committee representing the factory workers and a committee representing management met sixty days before the contract expired.

For many years the teachings of Christian Science have brought me great happiness and a fuller understanding of my relationship to God. My introduction to Science came through a neighbor who I could see had something that enriched her life.

When I was in my early teens, I was introduced to Christian Science by the instantaneous healing of my cousin, who had for several years suffered severe pains in his legs caused by a condition which no doctor was able to help. In the more than twenty-five years since then Christian Science has more than lived up to its initial promise.

My introduction to Christian Science was through the periodicals, in particular the Christian Science Sentinel . I was a member of another faith, but my wife and her immediate family had become interested in Christian Science and attended Sunday services and Wednesday evening testimony meetings.

God is a help in every situation in life if one relies on Him. When I was still in my old homeland, I became acquainted with Christian Science and experienced a healing of sciatica.

I feel a deep desire and duty to share with others what Christian Science has meant in my life over the past twenty years. During this time Christian Science has been my only physician, and Mind has been my only medicine.

I wish to express my gratitude to God, who gave us Christ Jesus, and for Mary Baker Eddy, who through her unselfish devotion made provision for our growth Spiritward. I had class instruction from a devoted student of Christian Science.

I am very grateful that early in my life in Japan my mother saw to it that I was taught something of Christian Science. When an experienced Christian Scientist told me that I was a child of God foremost, rather than of a nationality, I was taken by surprise; but more and more as years go along I see the endless benefit of learning to accept the spiritual truth of myself as the child of one Father-Mother Mind.
