Testimonies of Healing
I wish to express my gratitude for the testimonies which appear in our periodicals. They are always a source of encouragement to me in working out the problems of daily life.
Because of much suffering and lack during the depression days of 1930, my husband and I were ready to receive Christian Science when a dear friend presented it to us. Since we were not members of any church at that time, we started attending the services at a Christian Science church immediately and registered our two children—one four and the other five—in the Sunday School.
On page 571 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy we read, "Clad in the panoply of Love, human hatred cannot reach you.
While I was attending to some business in another town, I found that the bus had left the station but a minute before I arrived and that there would not be another one for an hour. It was imperative that I get home soon because of another business appointment; so I went to a taxi stand, but no cab was available.
" O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me" ( Ps. 30:2 ).
Many years ago my mother suffered a severe nervous breakdown. The doctor's verdict was that she would never be able to live a normal life, that she would not be able to do any work.
Before Christian Science came into my experience, I was a registered nurse. About two years after our marriage, my husband had business reverses.
In sickness, grief, lack, and difficult human relations, Christian Science has met my needs for over fifty years and has brought blessings to loved ones. Through the help of practitioners and through my own persistent study and application of the truths of this Science, I have been lifted out of several severe physical problems.
I have been greatly blessed through my application of Christian Science. While I am deeply grateful for each step upward, there are two experiences which continue to inspire and refresh me.
Through my study of Christian Science, I have had many proofs of God's presence and of His tender, loving care. Reliance on the laws of real being have brought us freedom from material bondage.
