Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science became a practical religion to me while I was a teen-ager, for I learned then that it offers the answer to all human problems. One afternoon while working with a group of girls to clear a large gymnasium of heavy, wooden, folding chairs, I caught my fingers in the collapsible section of a chair.

I am deeply grateful to the friends who introduced me to Christian Science about nine years ago. I have indeed found it to be the Comforter that Jesus promised (see John 14:16).

Christian Science was introduced to me at a time of great emotional distress. I was teaching school and felt sure that I was failing my children, my husband, and the children I was attempting to teach.

Several years ago I took a trip to the Middle West to attend my brother's wedding and had a very wonderful proof of God's care while I was there. Just one week prior to the wedding a group of us were invited to a dinner party in a neighboring town.

My ceaseless gratitude for the blessings I have enjoyed through my study and application of Christian Science prompts me to contribute this message of thankfulness. I have experienced varied physical healings through the years.

For approximately thirty-two years I have been a student of Christian Science. During this time there have been many opportunities to apply the truths taught by this religion, which is the way of Life.

Christian Science was first introduced to me by a dear friend of mine who is also my singing teacher. I had for some time been suffering from constant colds and severe catarrh which often prevented me from attending auditions and necessitated my being absent from shows in which I was appearing.

While on a winter skiing trip, high in the mountains on a ski trail, my husband twisted his knee to such a degree that he could not stand on that leg at all. He was brought down from the mountain in a snow tractor and told he should have the leg X-rayed immediately for broken bones since it was badly swollen.

The study and application of Christian Science these past thirty years and more have brought so much happiness and so many blessings into my life that I feel impelled to write a testimony in gratitude for this new-old religion, which I so love. I began the study of Christian Science to gain a better understanding of God.

My parents took up the study of Christian Science during my infancy, and so I attended the Christian Science Sunday School. Before leaving Sunday School I became a member of The Mother Church and six months later joined a branch church.
