Testimonies of Healing

My mother became interested in Christian Science when her sister had been given but a short time to live, and it was my mother's deep desire to help her. This sister was healed permanently through Christian Science and is now a practitioner.

My parents became interested in Christian Science when I was nine years old, and I began attending the Christian Science Sunday School. For over forty-nine years I have loved this beautiful religion and have experienced many healings through the application of its teachings.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude to those who have helped me and who are helping me to understand Christian Science better. I feel unspeakably thankful to God for Christ Jesus, the master Christian, and for our Leader, Mrs.

We have had many wonderful healings in our family through the application of Christian Science over the past thirty-one years. So-called childhood diseases, rheumatic fever, and an incurable bone condition were completely overcome.

My interest in Christian Science developed through the healing of a friend. Although I did not fully realize it at the time, what I was really seeking was a knowledge of Truth.

When I was first told of Christian Science by my sister, to whom I express loving thanks, I lived in the country many miles from the nearest Christian Science church and from a practitioner. The first time, as far as I can recall, that I attempted to put this teaching into practice was a day when I was using boiling water while doing household chores.

When I was a freshman in high school, a classmate invited me to attend the Christian Science Sunday School. After that I became a regular attendant, and within a year, my parents, having witnessed the change for the better in my experience, began to attend a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and later became active members.

Grateful for the many times I have been helped by the testimonies in our periodicals, I should like to share my experiences in applying Christian Science in the classroom. Beginning each day with the realization that the real work to be done is God's work brings harmony and order.

When I was a young child I was healed of diphtheria, which had advanced to an alarming stage of aggressiveness. This healing was brought about when a Christian Science practitioner assured my parents of the ever-presence of God and of His loving care for all His children.

The simplicity of my first demonstration as a young student of Christian Science will, I hope, help others who think they do not know enough of divine metaphysics or have not enough childlike confidence in God, good, to accomplish their own healings. I was rooming in the house of one who had been quite deaf for twenty years and had not gone beyond her garden gate through fear of being run down.
