Testimonies of Healing

Through the years, I have experienced many healings as a result of the application of Christian Science, for which I am profoundly grateful. Some were immediate, some required much persistence, some came about through my own efforts, and some took place with the help of Christian Science practitioners.

I am deeply grateful for the conviction that Christian Science heals. I have witnessed many proofs of the protecting and healing power of God, divine Mind, including the overcoming of infection, influenza, scarlet fever, grief, nervousness, and headaches.

I was introduced to Christian Science over thirty years ago by the chief of the department in which I worked, and I shall always be grateful to him and his family for the continued kindness and interest that were shown to me. I am grateful too for the purity of Mrs.

Christian Science was presented to my family when I was a young girl and at a time when the sudden severe illness of a parent brought sad change and adjustment to a home previously knowing only happiness and freedom. The Christly logic and comfort of this teaching were felt somewhat; but our deep despondency seemed to prevent real awakening to the precious relief at hand.

From the age of fifteen I was a magnet for all sorts of inharmony, sickness, and sin. This attraction increased to such an extent that a few years ago things had reached the point where death seemed to me the only way out of my misery.

Christian Science has brought so much happiness and joy into my experience that I feel I must share some of it with others. I felt a lack of genuine friendship among the members of the church in which I was reared, and at school I felt the same thing.

Christian Science first came to my attention when I was thirteen. Mother sent my brother, two sisters, and me to the Christian Science Sunday School, for, as she said, "It is close by, and the training will be good for all of you.

" Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized," writes Mrs. Eddy on page 167 of Science and Health.

A number of years ago my husband and I were in a difficult and seemingly hopeless situation resulting from poor health, inharmonious working conditions, and financial reverses. Several times I had undergone surgery, and my husband had been under medical treatment, but to no avail, and he was no longer able to work at his trade.

It is my hope that I may impart to others through this testimony the sense of joyousness and peace that is mine as the result of studying Christian Science. My interest in Science began when I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School.
