Testimonies of Healing
Since early youth, I had analyzed religion and enjoyed each conclusion which glorified God. In 1925 I was in a hospital, and the physicians in attendance told me that I would never be able to practice my profession again.
A testimony of mine appeared in the Journal in 1953, and it is a joy to bear witness to the many beautiful proofs of God's love and care which I have experienced since that time. Probably the greatest single blessing has been the fruitful step of class instruction.
Late in the winter of her freshman year at college our daughter called long distance to say that she had been suffering from a sore throat and that she wished we would call a practitioner for her. We did so, gratefully acknowledging Love's ever-presence and Mind's guidance.
Over fifty years ago my parents became interested in Christian Science. My mother was quickly healed of a sciatic condition of the spine which had kept her in bed much of the time and which medical means had failed to help.
There is so much for which I have to be grateful, and it is all due to Christian Science. My brothers and I were reared in a home where there was complete reliance on this religion, and we experienced many instantaneous healings.
My mother brought Christian Science to my father's family and to my father when he and she were married. While a young girl, I evidenced symptoms of a nervous condition and was examined by the school doctor.
I feel impelled to express my gratitude for what I owe to Christian Science. My outstanding experience was a remarkable escape in a motor accident.

I shall always be grateful for a loving Christian family who taught me from early childhood to love God and to turn to Him for comfort and help in time of trouble. However, I was not satisfied with the contradictions which the Bible seemed to contain concerning the nature of God.
Before I found the way in Christian Science sixteen years ago, I had been very ill, had had to be operated on often, and therefore felt uncertain and insecure. To all this were added recurring periods in which I had to lie in bed in great pain, almost incapable of motion, because, as the result of a fall from a horse, I had incurred a slight fracture of the pelvis and crushed vertebrae.
