Testimonies of Healing

For the greater part of half a century I have experienced daily the joys that must ever be the lot of an earnest student of Christian Science. My first physical healing occurred in the year 1906, when I was healed of a condition which our family physician had told my mother could be helped only by surgery.

My first healing in Christian Science was that of granulated eyelids. This condition had plagued me since my early high school days.

At a time when everything looked very dark to me, a dear one gave me some copies of the Christian Science Sentinel. After reading them I realized that Science could help me.

It is with the deepest sense of gratitude for Christian Science and for Mary Baker Eddy, the divinely inspired revelator of Truth to this age, that I offer this testimony of the healing power of Christian Science. This Science came into my experience at a time of urgent need.

My first healing in Christian Science was that of a goiter of long standing and was effected entirely by my reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I was wholly unfamiliar with Christian Science until an acquaintance gave me some of the literature and told me of a healing she had received.

Each day of my life I have a renewed sense of gratitude for Christian Science and for the many blessings and healings I have experienced. I found this religion when I was facing a surgical operation, and the explanations of a Christian Science practitioner who was called upon for help were so clear to me that I felt God could do all that was needed.

I want to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science and for the many blessings that I have received since I became a student of it. I have been healed of headaches, colds, and biliousness, as well as of the smoking habit.

I have often wanted to express through the periodicals my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for discovering and giving to the world Christian Science, the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus.

In thinking over the reasons I have for being grateful for Christian Science, I can list a multitude. Among them are numerous instances of God's care, the healing of discordant conditions, protection, the finding of apartments during wartime years, and the ability to do some things well.

After I began the earnest study of Mary Baker Eddy's book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," my uncertain beliefs of God and man began to change, regeneration began, and as a result of purified thought I was healed of a number of physical diseases, such as neuritis, lumbago, ulcers, neuralgia, and pleurisy. Hopelessness and despair gave way as I gained a better understanding of man as the image of Love.
