Testimonies of Healing

When Christian Science found me, I was in an unhappy condition. I was just out of a hospital where I had been taking treatments for a severe case of eczema.

When my parents were first married, they were well acquainted with a family in which the mother was a devout Christian Scientist. Dissatisfied with the practicality of their own religions and inspired by the example of this woman, they decided to adopt Christian Science as their family religion.

Christian Science has corrected discordant conditions many times in my experience. I am grateful not only for the healings themselves but also for the fact that each healing proves the power and presence of a loving Father-Mother God and that Life is eternal.

It is with humility and joy that I give this testimony. In 1920 I was forced through ill health to leave my farm and eventually to sell it.

Many years ago my mother was in great distress mentally and physically. She had three children and had been told by doctors that she was dying with heart disease.

Every time I think of what I owe to Christian Science, gratitude wells up within me for our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

All the joy and happiness that is expressed in my life today I owe to Christian Science, and I am very grateful. When I was nine months old, it became apparent that my eyes were crossed.

As a testimony to the truth demonstrated by Christ Jesus, and with very deep gratitude and respect for Mrs. Eddy's incomparable work in revealing the truth to us, I wish to recount some blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science.

With deep gratitude for and appreciation of Mrs. Eddy, who brought to mankind the practical understanding of the Christ, Truth, through the various channels of the Christian Science movement, I write this testimony of healing and regeneration.

I should like to express my gratitude for the healing power of Truth in Christian Science. When I was about thirteen years old, a school doctor told me that I had an enlarged place in my neck.
