Testimonies of Healing

So completely has my outlook changed from despair and frustration to happiness, joy, and deep gratefulness that I feel a compelling urge to send my testimony. A grateful heart a garden is, Where there is always room For every lovely, Godlike grace To come to perfect bloom.

It is with great joy and happiness that I share the wonderful blessings that have come to me and mine. Through Christian Science the darkest and most fearful hour I have ever experienced was changed to one of joy, confidence, and faith.

Many years ago I first witnessed the efficacy of Christian Science when my mother was quickly healed of a broken bone in her foot. The family was deeply impressed, as we did not know anything at all about Christian Science at the time, and my mother had tried it only on the recommendation of a loving friend.

" He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken" ( Ps. 34:20 ).

Thirty years ago I accepted Christian Science as my guide to life when a friend showed me "the scientific statement of being" on page 468 of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. When I read, "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all," I realized that therein was a definition of God which had meaning for me and which I could accept without reservation.

Since taking up the study of Christian Science I have relied upon it for everything. I have had numerous healings, physical, mental, and financial.

For many years the testimonies appearing in our periodicals have been a source of much inspiration and joy, and now I should like to share my own. I have been particularly blessed, because since the age of six I have been a witness that Christian Science is the way of Life.

" God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" ( Ps. 46:1 ).

While suffering from a nervous breakdown, I recalled that an aunt in a distant city had told me of Christian Science. Our family physician said that there was nothing he could do for me and that I would have to give up my work as a chemist for an indefinite time.

Twenty-eight years ago through Christian Science I was instantaneously healed of what appeared to be a fatal case of arsenic poisoning. That healing was followed soon afterward by the instantaneous release from the need to wear glasses and by a quick healing of a fractured ankle.
