Testimonies of Healing
My first healing in Christian Science was a beautiful demonstration of God's guidance and of the truth of these words from the Bible ( Ps. 103:2, 3 ): "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.
When I first came in contact with Christian Science over thirty years ago, I did not know how important this teaching was to become in my life. An incident occurred which left us without any income.

Because I have had so many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science, I submit this testimony with a heart full of gratitude so that others may be encouraged as I have been by reading the testimonies. Until I found Christian Science, I was unhappy and ill.
I can imagine no greater blessing than to have been reared in the home mentioned in my mother's testimony where Christian Science was loved and practiced and to have continued in this atmosphere in a marriage to a loyal student of this Science. From earliest childhood, the habit of turning to this truth for healing has brought many blessings.
