Testimonies of Healing

I have had so many blessings through the application of Christian Science that I should like to express my gratitude by relating an interesting experience which I had about three years ago. For a long time I had desired greatly to visit the Holy Land and to see the country where Jesus performed his miracles and talked with his disciples.

About fifteen years ago I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for the first time. My main reason for reading it was curiosity, because I had seen a great change in a member of my family from the time that she had started the study of this textbook.

Since childhood I have enjoyed the comfort and blessing that a knowledge of Christian Science brings. When I was twelve, I joined a branch church.

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them ! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand" ( Ps. 139: 17,18 ).

So many rich experiences have I had through God's gracious goodness that it is difficult to decide which to relate. John writes about Jesus' works thus ( 21:25 ): "If they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.

Christian Science has been meeting my needs and those of my family over a period of twenty-five years. It first came into my life at a time when I was in need of a physical healing.

In June, 1954, I had a routine dental appointment for the cleaning of my teeth. The dentist pointed out a tooth needing immediate attention.

In 1925 our little twelve-year-old daughter was taken ill. The symptoms were those of a contagious disease.

" What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?" ( Ps. 116:12.

It is with a heart full of gratitude for Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, that I give this testimony. Years ago Christian Science healed me of the use of cigarettes and of a nervous condition, the result of my experience in World War I.
