Testimonies of Healing

I began the study of Christian Science in the hope of finding security, peace, and a way to survive under adverse circumstances. For several years I had been plagued by discouragement.

I was led to the study of Christian Science through a curiosity to know what it is. My husband's parents were Christian Scientists, the literature was in their home, and I often picked it up and read it.

Until I had my first healing in Christian Science many years ago, I knew nothing of this religion and had a number of physical difficulties. One day I was very ill.

My parents began the study of Christian Science shortly after their marriage, and I received early training in this Science which has stood me in good stead ever since. During eighteen years of active flying service with the Air Force, including the years of the Second World War, I was not involved in an accident, nor did I suffer any injury in combat.

" This has been proved to me during the past nine years in which I have been studying Christian Science.

When my husband and I were married after World War I, we decided to look for a religion better suited to our needs than the one we had at that time. After a long search we were led to accept and read the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs.

I should like to bear witness to the healing power of Christian Science. My husband and I have found that the understanding reached through the study of this divine revelation has removed a false sense of responsibility when physical difficulties and trials have arisen during the rearing of our three children.
