Testimonies of Healing

I wish to acknowledge my gratitude for the many blessings I have received since I began the study of Christian Science about thirty-five years ago. Early in life I wondered why in time of need my prayers failed to help me.

Reading the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals has meant so very much to me that I should like to add my contribution so that I might aid in encouraging others along the way of perfect peace and happiness. Having been raised in a home where Christian Science was studied and practiced, I had no knowledge of what it was to be without its loving, protecting care.

I should like to tell of how Christian Science helped me as a college student, and I hope that it may be helpful to others who are students. Before I knew anything about this religion, I had taken a college intelligence test, and I had been informed that the results of the examination indicated that I would never be more than an average, or C, student.

Christian Science has been my comforter for thirty years. From the start, I have faithfully studied the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly.

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.
