Testimonies of Healing

I have received so much inspiration and help from reading the testimonies in our Christian Science periodicals that I should like to share a few of my own healing experiences. I accepted the invitation of a relative to attend a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a Church of Christ, Scientist.

In the Christian Science Sentinel for February 3, 1951, a testimony of mine appeared, and I am happy to state that all the healings mentioned in it have remained permanent. The sinus trouble and allergy irritations have never returned, and I have, with no harmful results and with no inclination to overweight, continued to enjoy all foods.

While living in another city some years ago, I had reached the proverbial end of the rope and knew not how or where to turn for help. A dear neighbor introduced me to Christian Science; and I began the study, and this led me to membership in a branch church.

A little over twenty years ago I was literally penniless. My home was mortgaged, and I was entirely without income.

It is with an ever-deepening sense of gratitude that I should like to share with others an experience which has veritably proved to be a staff on which to lean. After months of consecrated prayer, which resulted in the overcoming of what had appeared to be insurmountable obstacles, I was led to apply for class instruction from a teacher of Christian Science whose class and association were held in the United States.

Christian Science has met my every need since I began its study over ten years ago. It has been proved to me beyond a doubt that this Science is the complete revelation of the truth which Jesus taught and demonstrated centuries ago and that it has lost none of its dynamic power and healing efficacy.

This grateful testimony comes from a heart filled to overflowing with God's manifold blessings and is given with a desire to help others as I have been helped. No one ever came to Christian Science with less faith in its ability to heal than I did.

I have had many wonderful proofs that Science is workable, and for these I am very grateful. During my childhood I was quickly healed of various so-called children's diseases.

" Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift" ( II Cor. 9:15 ).

From early childhood I knew that Christian Science would bring peace and healing, because I saw this fact exemplified in the life of my grandmother. Although my parents were not students of Science, I am grateful that they felt kindly toward this religion.
