Testimonies of Healing

Over thirty years ago Christian Science was brought to me by a young woman living in the same apartment building in which I lived. I was a very sick woman, having suffered for several years, and I was frightened by the prospect of a major operation.

Christian Science has brought so many blessings into my life and into our home that I wish to thank God through the means of our periodicals. Although my human father passed on before I was born, all sense of having been deprived of a father's love was healed when I learned in Christian Science that God is the only Father of all.

" Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" ( Ps. 119: 105 ).

Before I found Christian Science, a growth appeared on my right ear, and I had it removed through surgery. It was not long before the growth reappeared.

While reading the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, a copy of which was loaned to me by my sister-in-law, I realized that smoking is a form of bondage, and I was freed from the temptation to indulge in it.

It is with great joy that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. It found me at a time of great unhappiness and ill-health.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Christian Science and for Mary Baker Eddy, our beloved Leader, who gave us this wonderful religion. A healing that has taught me many treasured lessons was one which a small child in our family experienced.

It is the deep gratitude I have for Christian Science that prompts me to tell of the healing which brought me into its study. This was a healing of lack.

" Man's extremity is God's opportunity. " The truth of this saying has often been proved to me.

It is with humility and gratitude that I submit proof of the efficacy of Christian Science. My first experience with this religion came by way of a physical healing when I was a lad of sixteen.
