Testimonies of Healing

After being out of the business world for about ten years, I found it necessary to return to work. I regretted having to be away from my children and my home, and I feared that I could not competently fill a position after being absent from the business world.

I am deeply grateful to be numbered among the thousands who have been healed, uplifted, and blessed beyond measure by Christian Science. As a boy of seventeen or eighteen I attended the Christian Science Sunday School briefly, but I drifted away from the consistent practice of the truths taught there.

Often in my daily rounds I mentally declare, "I am so grateful. " Therefore I decided to analyze my thinking and find out what prompted this declaration.

Since my testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel of January 17, 1953, I have enjoyed wonderful health and have not had a day in bed. Also I have had the priceless privilege of class instruction, which has indeed been to me the pearl of great price.

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.
