Testimonies of Healing

One does not have to be a student of Christian Science very long before he learns that the brain is not the source of his intelligence. The understanding of God as divine Mind, or infinite intelligence, and of man as the expression of this intelligence appealed to me greatly when I first became acquainted with this Science, and I rejoiced in the opportunities to demonstrate what I knew of it.

When Christian Science was first presented to me I was hungry for the truth, and comfort came from my reading the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. It has continued to be a constant inspiration.

Through Christian Science I have been able to overcome an extreme fear of enclosed and underground places which had troubled me for many years. My wife and I recently toured through northern New Zealand, and when we found ourselves at Waitomo we naturally wanted to visit the famous glowworm cave.

When a child I prayed for the recovery of my infant sister, who was ill, and she became well and strong. I realized that I had witnessed the effects of a healing power beyond that of human hands, and as I became older I searched among the different churches for the source of this power.

Christian Science has given to me the truth of God and man, and it has met my every need for over twenty years. When it was first presented to me I was facing semi-invalidism with promise of only slight relief through an operation.

With a grateful heart I give my praise and thanks to God for Christian Science and for all that it has done for me and mine. I have found help and inspiration by reading testimonies of healing in the periodicals.

It is simply impossible to count all the blessings which we have experienced in our family through the application of Christian Science. Of the many healings experienced I will mention only a few.

I Became a student of Christian Science through reading to my mother from the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. For years my mother had been an invalid, suffering from heart trouble, stomach trouble, and nervous breakdown, to mention only a few of her difficulties.

Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures''( p. 3 ), "Action expresses more gratitude than speech.

Christian Science has been of inestimable value to me during the last twenty years. I did not take up the study of it for any physical healing for myself, though I was in need of healing, but to see if it could help our younger child, then a small boy of five years, who had had a troublesome cough since he was a baby.
