Testimonies of Healing

I am grateful for the coming into my life of a Christian Science student who demonstrated in daily living that this Science has something for mankind which cannot be found anywhere else. After I had been studying Science and attending a branch church for some time, the invitation to apply for church membership, which was read from the desk, found me wanting to apply, but doubting my readiness and worthiness to take this step.

Christian Science has been my only help for over fifty years. Before I heard of it, I had been earnestly praying that if there was a religion which heals the sick as Jesus did, God would show me where to find it.

Our Master's words ( John 8:32 ), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," have been proved many times in our family's endeavors to apply God's law to human problems. When the healing truth of Christian Science was brought to our attention seventeen years ago, we were faced with many problems— physical, financial, and social.

I am grateful to testify to the healing power of Christian Science. A few days after the birth of a daughter, I suffered a collapse.

With humble gratitude for the manifold blessings received through the study of Christian Science, I submit this testimony. A friend who was not a Christian Scientist asked me if I would care to read a wonderful book that had been given to her.
