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.
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.
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.
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.
