Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has been meaningful and precious to me since girlhood when I had the privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School. There I learned early to look to God for healing, and healings have been many.

I am particularly grateful for a healing one of our daughters received nearly four years ago when she was struck by a car and thrown across the road when crossing a busy thoroughfare. My wife and I immediately took her home, made her comfortable in bed, and then both individually commenced prayerful metaphysical work.

My parents became interested in Christian Science in 1907, and I was privileged to attend a Christian Science Sunday School at intervals for several years. I am grateful for that opportunity, because the seed of Truth was embedded so firmly in my consciousness that I have never doubted the healing and saving power of Science.

Christian Science came to our family over sixty years ago through my father's healing of stomach trouble. Shortly after my mother and he were married, Mother became a semi-invalid and spent several years in a sanatorium either bedridden or in a wheelchair.

I was introduced to Christian Science by the man who later became my husband. After I had studied Science for some time, it became evident to me that I had found the security for which I had searched.

My pearl of great price is the revelation of Truth brought to me through a wonderful healing which came about simply by my reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I was enrolled in an orthodox Sunday School by a loving and devoted mother, who believed in God and in prayer.

As a child, before learning of Christian Science, I sought answers to many questions, but I found only confusion in the answers given to me in the different Sunday Schools and churches I attended. When I was at college, I went to a Christian Science church service with a friend.

I have been blessed by Christian Science all my life, and I wish to express my deep gratitude to God for this precious truth and for His guidance. When a child, I was healed through the work of a Christian Science practitioner of a case of trench mouth which a dentist had diagnosed as so severe that I would probably have to miss many weeks of school.

During the summer of 1960 I faced three difficult situations, all arising in the same month. My position with a national corporation was one which was subject to relocation from time to time.

During the years of the depression my mother became interested in Christian Science and enrolled me as a teen-ager in the Sunday School, an act which transformed my entire way of life. I had been considered a sickly child, suffering often from headaches, chronic hives, stomach upsets, a skin infection, and other assorted ills.
