Testimonies of Healing

An experience which I had while working in an office a few years ago brought much unfoldment of good. Because of a condition of lack, it had become necessary for me to go back into the business world.

I am grateful to have learned that into my human experience can enter only two kinds of situations: harmonious ones, over which to rejoice, and inharmonious ones, which impel me to gain a closer acquaintance with God. In the eleven years in which it has been my joy to apply the teachings of Christian Science, I have had many causes for rejoicing.

Christian Science came into my home about forty-five years ago. Since that time it has been my only physician, and I have desired no other religion.

When a girl in my teens, I lived for four years with my sister and her husband, who were devoted Christian Scientists. I became so impressed with the harmony and happiness expressed in their lives and with the way in which they worked out their problems that I began to study Christian Science, for I realized they had something I lacked.

I came to Christian Science because of an internal organic disorder, for which I had already undergone one operation and had been advised by a physician to have another. I had witnessed two outstanding healings through Christian Science, which convinced me that it is the truth that heals.

The day that Christian Science was introduced to me marked the beginning of a complete reformation in my life. When my baby was but a few weeks old I was told that she had an incurable heart condition.

After spending many years of discomfort while seeking medical relief, I was healed through Christian Science of a severe stomach trouble. This healing was accomplished through the prayers of a Christian Science practitioner.

With great joy and gratitude I testify that Christian Science has met my every need, physical, moral, and spiritual, since I took up an earnest study of it more than twelve years ago. Two outstanding healings come to my thought.

It is with a sincere and humble desire to share with others the blessings which have come to me through the teachings and application of Christian Science that I give my testimony. Although I have had many healings, the most outstanding one was that of a disease of the spine with complications, including paralysis in various parts of the body.

A number of years ago I was confined to my home because of illness. Among my friends was a prominent physician, who diagnosed my case as a very serious condition of the heart, as well as stomach ulcers and an advanced case of Bright's disease.
