Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science was presented to my mother when I was a very small child. She accepted and utilized it daily in rearing her family of five children, and many were the healings of so-called children's diseases, cuts, upset stomach, colds, sunburn, school problems, lack, discordant relationships, and undiagnosed illnesses.
My family became interested in Christian Science about twenty-six years ago when my mother was healed of a heart condition and other complications which a number of specialists had said would prove fatal. Soon after this, I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School, in which I began to learn how to make the teachings of Christ Jesus practical in my own experience.
My gratitude is unbounded for the numerous healings and blessings which have been mine over a period of many years through the ministrations of God's law, Christian Science. When this Science presented itself to my thought a number of years ago I was living in Europe, and I knew nothing whatever of it.
Many healings have come to me and my family as a result of our putting into practice the teachings of Christian Science. Our gratitude for these healings is deeper than can be expressed in words.
After having had only two and a half years of high school, I left in order to help support my parents and sisters during the depression years. When I later became a student of Christian Science, I mentioned my limited training to a practitioner.
For as long as I could remember I had wanted to know what the truth is. Although I occasionally attended a Christian Science Sunday School, it was not until my early adult years that my intense desire to find the truth led me to search earnestly for it in the Bible and the writings of Mrs.
For the understanding of God and of man's relationship to Him, as we learn it in Christian Science, I am deeply grateful. During the last twenty years all my physical difficulties have been healed quickly and completely when I have turned prayerfully to God, and many healings, including those of colds, burns, a stiff neck, headaches, and sprains, were immediate.
I had just begun the practice of reading our weekly Lesson-Sermons from the Quarterly when my first opportunity to use Christian Science presented itself. I had been wrongly accused by a co-worker of intriguing against him, with the result that my position became untenable.
From the time I was very young I had searched for a religion that would give me hope and a right understanding of God. After my children were born I joined an orthodox church because I believed they should attend some Sunday School.
Having been brought up in Christian Science and having had ample evidence of its blessings and protection throughout many years, I feel that I must testify in writing to its enrichment of my life. I shall be forever thankful for the strong, sustaining love of my family and friends that surrounded me during the difficult period after my husband passed on.
