Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science came into our home when I was a young boy, and I am very grateful for the years I spent in the Christian Science Sunday School, during which time the seed of Truth was sown. It has since become apparent that this seed, once sown, can never be permanently uprooted, although it may seem to be obscured temporarily by overgrowths of false beliefs, accepted as real for a time, but inevitably destroyed by one's turning to Truth and spiritualizing thought.

The coming of Christian Science into our home was the most important thing which could possibly have happened to us, and its advent was interesting. My mother had had the opportunity to accept Christian Science three times earlier in her life, but evidently she was not ready to do so.

In 1942, during my last year of nurses' training at the Sanatorium of the Christian Science Benevolent Association on Pacific Coast, I was persuaded by a friend who was also in training to go ice skating with her. During my second visit to the ice rink I fell and broke a bone in one of my legs just above the ankle.

I am indeed grateful for Christian Science, because it is the revealed truth to our age, the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. It has enabled me to love the Bible, to understand God and to love Him and my fellow men more.

After my first healing in Christian Science, I was convinced that God's healing power is just as available today as it was during the era of Christ Jesus and his early followers. A doctor had previously diagnosed my case as an abnormal condition characterized by a decreased amount of sugar in the blood and had placed me on a very strict diet, which I followed carefully for one year.

Christian Science means everything to me, for through it I am learning of my glorious relationship to God, my Life. The proper application of this Science not only will heal suffering of any kind, but will gradually and gently lead us out of darkness into heaven, or the understanding of God as All.

I should like to express my gratitude for the many blessings Christian Science has brought into my life. I am particularly grateful at this time for an increasing understanding of God as Father-Mother.

In 1920 I was struggling with a severe stomach ailment. For many months I was confined to bed.

For many years the Bible, Science and Health, and the other writings of Mrs. Eddy have comforted, guided, and healed me.

Early in my experience in Christian Science, I was healed of smoking, social drinking, stomach ulcers, and boils. Lost articles have been found, and wonderful business experiences have unfolded.
