Testimonies of Healing

From early girlhood I yearned to know God, and Job's prayer ( 23:3 ), "Oh that I knew where I might find him!" echoes my thought. This prayer was answered when a friend lent me a Christian Science Sentinel.

My introduction to Christian Science came when our oldest child was just five and had undergone surgery for double mastoiditis. Shortly after she returned home a complication developed, and she had to return to the hospital for a second operation.

The first statement I remember my mother repeating to me after she had begun reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, is from the Bible, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear" ( I John 4:18 ).

Shortly before the First World War, I became interested in Christian Science. My dear husband passed on suddenly eight months after our marriage.

"My cup runneth over" ( Ps. 23:5 ) with gratitude for the blessings that have been bestowed on my family and me during the past few years because of our wholehearted reliance on God.

I wish to express gratitude for a healing I had of pneumonia. To the great amazement of my husband, who is an orthopedic surgeon, this healing was accomplished entirely through Christian Science "without so much as an aspirin tablet," as he expressed it.

All the good that I have ever experienced I owe to my understanding of God, gained through the study of Christian Science. I can never express the gratitude I feel for Mrs.

The understanding of what Christian Science really is came to me at a time of mental torment due to discordant relationships. In humility I had reached the point where I was praying, "Please, God, show me the right thing to do," and when a dear one spoke to me of the fact that God is the one Mind, one Soul, one Spirit, I saw at once that this is so.

Christian Science came to our home when I was a young child. My mother had been given up by a heart specialist.

Over forty years ago a severe attack of pneumonia kept me from work for six weeks and left me in a weakened condition which did not yield to several months of medical care. I then began to attend the services in a Church of Christ, Scientist, and soon regained normal health and strength.
