Testimonies of Healing
As a theological student I found I was unable to obtain satisfactory answers to my many questions relating to God; also I was unable to accept the advice of the well-meaning faculty that it was wrong to question certain religious beliefs. Deeply troubled and filled with doubts about God Himself, it was at this hour of great need that I was introduced to Christian Science.
One of the first healings that I remember occurred when I was a very young child on my way to a Christian Science Sunday School with my sister. A boy on a bicycle knocked me down and ran over my wrist.
On page 390 of the Christian Science textbook Mrs. Eddy states, "It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony.
About nineteen years ago, my husband was transferred to a large city where some relatives of mine lived. I soon learned that they were Christian Scientists.
I am more grateful than I can say that I had the privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School, although I did not then appreciate its teachings fully. I especially loved Mrs.
Until four years ago I did not really know what Christian Science was or what it taught. Now I can say with joy and appreciation that I am a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church.
I am grateful for what the teaching in Christian Science Sunday Schools does for little children. When my only daughter was four years old, her father passed on suddenly, and it was necessary for me to inform her of this.
I am very grateful for Christian Science and for all that it has done for me and my family. I am grateful to know and to realize with conviction that man's intelligence is from God.
In my childhood my life centered around home, school, and church activities. I was reared in a religious atmosphere as well as one of materia medica.
It is with gratitude that I look back over the past seventeen years to the time my parents became interested in Christian Science and enrolled my brothers and me in the Sunday School. I knew that Science was the only way of Life for me, and slowly and steadily as I learned to apply the truths which I learned in Sunday School I grew out of the self-consciousness that seemed to be a part of my teen-age experience.
