Testimonies of Healing

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.

It was through the study of the current Quarterly Lesson-Sermon and the prayerful support of a practitioner that I was able to rise above the effects of a severe fall. The subject of the lesson was "Adam and Fallen Man," and the recurrence of this lesson has prompted me to express deep gratitude for Christian Science.

For over thirty years Christian Science has been the governing factor in my life, and gratitude for it has always had a paramount place in my thoughts. Christian Science was presented to my mother at the time that I was a pupil in high school, and after my first introduction to its wonderful truths I regularly attended the Sunday School.

"Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" ( John 3:3 ). I can testify to the truth of that statement by Christ Jesus.

It is with much gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. I was healed of hay fever, which I had been told was incurable and from which I had suffered since I was five years old.

Over thirty years ago a friend presented Christian Science to me; she saw that I had need of a healing method other than that which the medical profession had been able to give me all my life; she advised me to try this religion with its healing power. I was a resident of Boston, Massachusetts, at that time, and my first attendance at a Christian Science service was in The Mother Church.

Shortly before graduating from high school, I was introduced to Christian Science by two friends. One asked me to accompany her to Sunday School.

Some years ago I had an experience that illustrated to me the physical effects of fearful, material thinking and the healing power of an understanding of Truth, correcting and destroying both the erroneous thinking and the physical consequences. I became alarmed over a physical condition which was manifesting itself on my body.

I shall always be grateful to the friend who introduced me to Christian Science. At a time when I had reached a particularly low point in my human experience, I remembered that this friend's life had been remarkably changed for the better since she had begun the study of Science and Health by Mrs.

My experience in Christian Science began when I received a wonderful healing some ten years ago. I can mention a long list of deliverances from bondage which I have experienced in the years since then, and as the result of these healings I have gained a brand new viewpoint on how to work out my own problems.
