Testimonies of Healing

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the precious gift of Christian Science. I became acquainted with it as a small child when I had an extreme case of diphtheria.

Because of the love I have for Christian Science, the deep devotion I feel toward our Cause, and the earnest desire I have to be a genuine Christian Scientist, I give this written testimony. Science came into my life at an early age.

It is ten years since a testimony of mine was published, and since then we have had many more proofs of God's care. At the end of World War II, we had little income, as our farm was needed for a housing estate.

" Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech.

In the Bible we read ( Ps. 105:1 ), "O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

During the Second World War, I was a Navy pilot. I flew night fighters which required my operating them alone and usually many miles from my carrier.

Through the divine law of God, ever-present Life, Truth, and Love, as taught and demonstrated in Christian Science, I have been wonderfully protected and blessed. I was healed of a stroke and its bad effects in seven hours.

I was privileged to attend the Christian Science Sunday School from an early age, and through the years I have had many proofs of the healing and saving power of the truth. When quite young, one of our sons became very ill.

As a child I was healed through Christian Science of tuberculosis of the hip. I attended the Sunday School from the age of ten until I was twenty.

I should like to tell of three healings that have come to our family during the last few years, with the hope that they will help others. Not long ago, our younger son had a serious accident while he was staying with his elder brother in the country.
