Testimonies of Healing

" Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" ( Ps. 107:2 ).

Before I recently became twenty years of age I was a pupil in the Christian Science Sunday School. I attended it for eighteen years, and much good has come to me from that attendance.

During World War II the organization by which I was employed was affected by a shortage of labor. Observing the difficulty that was experienced in obtaining men to do jobs necessary to maintain the high standard of the institution, I went to the manager and asked if I might wash windows.

Christian Science was mentioned to me first by a young man, who spoke of it as a religion that healed, and next by a young woman with whom I worked, who had experienced a healing of cancer. It was not until years later, however, that it was again brought to my attention.

I consider it a great privilege to be able to add my testimony to the many others which appear in our periodicals telling of the healing power of God revealed in Christian Science. My first healing took place when I was about fifteen years old.

I should like to express my profound gratitude for Mrs. Eddy's revelation of Christian Science.

I am grateful for this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for Christian Science and for having been raised in this truth with the accompanying privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School. I have experienced many healings, including those of colds, periodic pain, headaches, depression, and extreme homesickness.

One of many outstanding proofs of the power of Christian Science to make manifest God's care and provision for the well-being of His children took place after I was elected First Reader in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. While I had been very desirous of serving as Reader, I had never had the necessary faith to give up my position as a traveling salesman, which was my only human source of supply and thrice the amount of the Reader's salary.

During childhood I attended many orthodox Sunday Schools but never felt satisfied with their teachings. However, when I began to read the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I knew without a doubt that I had found the truth for which I had been searching.

When I first attended a Christian Science church service, I had the feeling that I had found a religion in which love is more than just a word. All through the years before I knew of Christian Science I had clung to the thought that there must be some unselfish, great love by which to live.
