Testimonies of Healing

" Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" ( Mal. 3:10 ).

For nearly ten years I was a semi-invalid. Having relied during this time upon medicine and surgery for healing without regaining my health, I had lost all faith in doctors and material remedies, and I asked God to help me.

Many have been the blessings which have unfolded in my experience, of which I shall relate but a few. As to physical healings, one in particular stands out.

My introduction to Christian Science came at a time when one of my daughters was ill with tuberculosis, for which the doctors offered no hope of a cure, even after the two operations they performed. My other daughter, who was in the United States at the time, had been given a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Several years ago I had a severe toothache. About three o'clock one morning the pain was so intense that I awakened and could not get back to sleep.

I can never express in words the joy that has come to me with the transformation of thought from sense to Soul, from the belief in matter to the knowledge of Spirit. My heart overflows with love and gratitude as I thank God for Mary Baker Eddy and her precious gift, Christian Science.

Mere words seem inadequate to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for the loving and courageous practitioners. Science was introduced to me when a loved one was suffering from a serious condition of heart trouble.

I have experienced so many blessings through Christian Science that it is my desire to express my gratitude. In my former religion I no longer found any satisfaction; I felt that something was lacking.

" Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies" ( Ps.

This testimony can express only a little of what Christian Science means to me. I began its study in 1919, when my mother enrolled me in a Christian Science Sunday School.
