Testimonies of Healing

With a desire to help anyone who may be struggling with the problem of deciding whether to rely on medical treatment or on Christian Science, I should like to relate what one of my Army experiences taught me in this connection. While I was at a basic training camp, I began to suffer from a distressing physical condition.

It is with great humility that I offer this testimony that Christian Science, correctly and faithfully applied, does heal. This Science was first brought to my attention about twenty-three years ago when a friend loaned me the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I had the wonderful opportunity of attending the Christian Science Sunday School for many years until I reached college age. At this time my interest became haphazard and continued so for a number of years.

Five years ago I was in as hopeless a state as a human being could be. Today, thanks to Christian Science, my life is filled with happiness.

I have received so much help and inspiration from the testimonies published in our periodicals that I wish to testify to the healing and redeeming power of Christian Science, in the hope that it may help others. Christian Science was first presented to me by a student of this Science whom I met on holiday and who had been healed of rheumatism.

It was about fifteen years ago that I first learned of Christian Science. For some time prior to this I had been convinced that there must be a religion which I could understand and live, although I had failed to find it through studying and reading works on every religion brought to my attention.

Christian Science was presented to me for the second time about fifteen years ago. Several years before this I had seen my sister healed of pneumonia in a few hours, but had gradually forgotten about it.

For the many blessings I have received through the study and sincere application of Christian Science, I owe endless thanks. I felt the touch of this Science for the first time while in kindergarten.

My gratitude for Christian Science grows daily as I see it accomplish its mission of bringing heaven to our consciousness now. Our two-year-old daughter was beautifully and quickly cared for through Christian Science treatment after what appeared to be a serious accident.

I was led into the study and application of Christian Science for our son, who after six years of medical treatment was failing rapidly. He suffered from a painful case of eczema, accompanied by kidney trouble, headaches, and weakness.
