Testimonies of Healing
Since 1956 I have been a faithful adherent of Christian Science. One day a man we know called my son's attention to Science, and he brought me the joyous news that I could be freed from my almost unbearable pain.
About sixteen years ago, shortly after I had become interested in it, Christian Science helped me to solve a difficult business problem. I had been given a position as manager of a company in which there was a lack of discipline among the personnel, and it was my duty to correct the situation.
For the priceless privilege of having attended a Christian Science Sunday School, I shall be eternally grateful. But it was not until several years after our marriage that my husband and I became earnest students of Science.
After studying Christian Science but a few days, I could see that drinking and smoking were not in accord with its teachings. Furthermore, I reasoned that the understanding and application of what I was reading depended upon the ability to think clearly at all times.
Christian Science has been my rod and staff since childhood. For the many blessings which have come to me through its study and practice, I am truly grateful.
Shortly after my parents became interested in Christian Science, I was advised by the school authorities that a spot which was on one of my feet and which had been extremely painful for many months was believed to be cancerous and required medical attention. However, several days later when I was called into the office of one of my teachers and asked what I was doing about the condition, I felt impelled to tell her that my parents were new students of Christian Science and that I was going to rely upon it for healing.
Christian Science was presented to me by two neighbors when our first child was a baby. At that time the baby had a severe illness which resulted in mastoid trouble in one ear.
About twenty years ago I was taken ill with pneumonia and pleurisy. At the same time a heart ailment from which I had suffered earlier became so aggravated that the doctor gave his opinion that I had not long to live.
About four years ago, before Christian Science was presented to me, there was extreme inharmony in certain of my family relationships. I was in bondage to tobacco, alcohol, and barbiturates, and I was often in despair.
I was introduced to Christian Science towards the end of the First World War. Brought up in an orthodox church, I frequently visited a large and beautiful church during the war to pray for the safety of relatives and others who were on active service.
