Testimonies of Healing

Over twenty years ago, after we had been married for several years, it was our desire to have a family. This not having come about, I visited a physician who informed me that a medical adjustment would have to be made before I could have a child.

With the sincere hope that others may be helped and encouraged by it, I submit the following testimony. From childhood I would sometimes lose consciousness when I stood for a long time.

Many blessings have come to me through the understanding and application of Christian Science. Among these is the privilege of having attended the Christian Science Sunday School.

It is with sincere gratitude for Christian Science that this testimony is given, and I hope it will be helpful to others who may be struggling with problems similar to those I faced a few years ago. I had gone to my daughter's home for the week end, and after my arrival I became so ill that she called a physician.

In the Preface to the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes ( p.

As a young man, my father suffered from dyspepsia, and finding no relief in medicine, he turned to Christian Science. He was healed and from that time on enjoyed his food.
