Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science came into our home as the result of my mother's prayer for a sound and happy way to bring up her children. Ever since I can remember, we have relied entirely on this Science in our family for the solution of all problems.
I did not consciously seek Christian Science, but I was invited to attend a service in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. It was an entirely new experience for me, but it must have been what I had been looking for, because for about twenty-one years I have never attended any other church.
I am very grateful for the Christian Science Sunday School, for the guidance received by the children, and for the privilege of teaching where the teacher also learns that God is the only real teacher. When attending high school, I was introduced to Christian Science by some small children with whom I stayed while their parents attended church.
Having been reared in a home where regular church attendance and daily family worship were among my earliest recollections, I learned to love the Bible and to a certain extent make use of its teachings in my daily life. However, I was never satisfied with my religious outlook, and for ten years I had sought in vain for relief from anemia.

Over twenty years ago I became interested in Christian Science through the healing of a nephew. Physicians had diagnosed his trouble as an incurable neck condition.
