Testimonies of Healing

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.

Christian Science was first brought to my mother's attention by a neighbor over fifty-five years ago. My mother thought it a beautiful religion.

For many years I lived and worked in Central Africa, often in remote areas, and during that time I became increasingly aware of the practicality of Christian Science as a religion and the way of Life. Without the support of the Bible, Mrs.

The blessings that have been mine since I became a Christian Scientist would fill a book. I did not become interested in Science because I was seeking a healing but because I was deeply impressed by the life of love exemplified by a close relative, a Scientist, and I knew that if I too could express such love and assurance I would be living my life in the way I wished to live it.

My husband and I were both brought up in the Christian Science Sunday School, and we are now very thankful that our four children are enjoying this same opportunity. We have experienced many demonstrations of the blessings of Christian Science in all aspects of our family life.

Christian Science came into my life over thirty years ago when, as a young wife and the mother of two children, I was suffering from a supposedly incurable kidney disease. I knew nothing about Christian Science but sought help continuously through prayer.

It is with much joy that I acknowledge the benefits which Christian Science has brought into my experience. I have never ceased to be grateful that, while I was still in my teens, this practical religion was introduced into my family by an acquaintance who recognized our urgent need for help.

"I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works" ( Ps. 145:5 ).

The truths I learned while attending a Christian Science Sunday School have been a sure foundation upon which healings have been based. Throughout my high school and college career, I endeavored to use what I knew of the ever-presence of divine Mind, especially in the preparation for examinations.

Before recording my experiences in Christian Science, I wish to speak of my love for The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, and my gratitude for the privilege of being identified with this unique demonstration of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, the author of the Christian Science textbook.
