Testimonies of Healing

" Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul" ( Ps. 66:16 ).

It is quite impossible fully to express my gratitude to God for our Way-shower, Christ Jesus, and for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, through whose untiring efforts Christian Science was given to a waiting world. There have been numerous healings in our family when we have turned to God for guidance as we are taught to do in Christian Science.

I found my way to Christian Science, as it were, through the back door. My wife became interested in it for relief from physical problems which were troubling her.

When I was a small child, my mother was healed in Christian Science of a severe nervous illness which followed the passing of my father. She became an earnest student, and I had the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School until I reached the age of twenty.

Although my husband was a Christian Scientist and had had two outstanding healings of conditions which had been declared incurable, I had felt no real urge to investigate Christian Science until after our second daughter was born. At one time she became ill with a severe cold, which fast developed into croup.

" Oh Lord , thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth" (Isa. 25:1).

In gratitude to God for the healing efficacy of Christian Science I submit this testimony. My mother was a sincere student of Christian Science, and I received the benefit of her love, joy, and understanding of God's ever-presence.

It is with deep gratitude for the discovery and founding of Christian Science by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, that I give this testimony of the healing of the alcohol, tobacco, and coffee habits. I was introduced to Christian Science about ten years ago when I was in great financial need.

I became interested in Christian Science in this manner: As a young man I was working as a salesman in a men's clothing store. I became ill with a nervous condition that often necessitated my asking leave to go home, many times as early as ten o'clock in the morning.

" Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name" ( Ps. 103:1 ).
