Testimonies of Healing
About seven years ago while I was engaged in sports, I fell on my head. Those in charge had me taken at once to a hospital in the nearest city.
I have had the blessings of Christian Science since I was a child. From the age of ten I was able to demonstrate the truths of Science through uplifted faith, and my prayers were answered in quick healings.
I should like to express my gratitude to Christian Science for all the wonderful help it has been to me. From earliest childhood I was always encouraged to turn to God for help in solving any problem, and I can truly say that it has never failed.
A true estimate of Mrs. Eddy as the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science and Leader of the movement saved me from materialism into which I was sinking during my career in the Army and later in my college experience.
Some years ago when a physical difficulty was causing me constant discomfort, I worked daily in Christian Science, studying the Bible and the writings of Mrs. Eddy; but there was no apparent improvement.
When I was a little girl, my mother, who had been an invalid for several years, was healed after three days of treatments by a Christian Science practitioner. My mother then took up the study of Science, and I was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School.
I have had the privilege of being reared in Christian Science, and I have had many proofs of its ability to meet every need. Several years ago I moved to a large city in which I was a stranger.
I could never begin to express enough gratitude for the spiritual good that has been my reward since turning wholly to Christian Science. That reward has been manifested in financial stability, right companionship, harmony in the home, and the doffing of unlovely character traits, the joy of meeting each new day, and the sense of security.
When I was about five years old, I enjoyed looking through a book of Bible stories that had many pictures of Christ Jesus in it. I remember saying to my mother: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if Jesus were still here? Then he could heal all the sick people.
With a humble and profound sense of gratitude I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. Over forty-five years ago I was healed of a severe nervous disorder that baffled physicians.
