Testimonies of Healing

I am very grateful to God for having led me into marriage with a Christian Scientist. My interest in his religion began when I found that I had read every book in our possession with the exception of my husband's well-worn copy of Science and Health by Mrs.

It is with profound gratitude that I acknowledge the good that has come to me and to others of my family through the study and application of Christian Science. My brothers, sister, and I have been blessed with a mother who early taught us the importance of regular attendance at a Christian Science Sunday School and encouraged us to apply the truths we learned there to our every problem.

" Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" These words, repeated four times in the one hundred and seventh Psalm, prompt me to comply with them by sending a testimony for publication. Although I have voiced my thanks at Wednesday testimony meetings in Churches of Christ, Scientist, I feel that I have too long delayed expressing my gratitude through the periodicals.

I am humbly and deeply grateful for Christian Science, and I should like to share with others a few of the many reasons for my gratitude. That Christian Science protects as well as cures is to me an established fact.

In Isaiah ( 35:4 ) we read, "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. " Christian Science enabled me to understand why I need not fear.

I am truly grateful for the privilege of having been brought up in Christian Science by a loving mother, who became interested in it before the turn of the century. Christian Science was the guiding light of our home life.

It must be over twenty years since my first testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel, and it is high time for me to bear witness again to the healing power of Christian Science. I have had many wonderful physical healings during the past twenty years; but I want to write about a different kind of healing, as I know it will help many readers.

As my previous testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel of May 26. 1928, another one is long overdue.

I am sincerely grateful to Christian Science for the healing of a severe illness from which I had suffered for about fifteen years. For some time I had dieted and had been given injections, medicines, and other forms of treatment by various physicians because of digestive disturbances, accompanied by convulsive stomach and intestinal pain, as well as by fever.

Our family has enjoyed the benefits of Christian Science for more than twenty-five years and has had many healings. Some of us hesitate to speak of our lesser experiences and wait for more outstanding ones, but often through small demonstrations of Truth we learn many useful lessons.
