Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science was introduced to my family when I was four years of age. At that time my father, who had suffered for several months from consumption and had been given up by his physician, was healed through the work of a Christian Science practitioner.

After years of worldly living I discovered that I was the victim of the liquor habit. I tried to overcome this condition and at times thought I had been successful, but when confronted with suggestions of self-pity and loneliness I would again succumb.

The spring of 1940 brought a special anxiety to me because my family had remained in the Channel Islands after our summer holiday in 1939. It had seemed unwise to bring them back to London in view of the Prime Minister's warning of air attack, but small houses in the country were very difficult to find.

I should like to express my sincere gratitude to God for Christian Science, the religion of Love. It was introduced to me by a member of my family after I had been suffering for over three years from the effects of a serious operation.

I have now been studying Christian Science for nineteen years, and I think it is high time that I express my heartfelt gratitude through the printed word of the periodicals for the multitude of blessings that have come my way. When I first started to study this Science f was suffering from stomach disorder, intestinal toxemia, constipation.

It was just a little over sixty years ago that I came to this country seeking health. I was disappointed at that time, however, for the climate failed to benefit me.

Having for more than thirty years reaped the benefits of Christian Science, I should like to express my gratitude for this wonderful truth. We have had many proofs of God's care in our home through demonstrations of supply, protection, and healing.

It is with joy that I submit this testimony expressing my gratitude for Christian Science and its ever-present, efficacious healing power. From the time I was first introduced to the healing laws of Truth in a Christian Science Sunday School, the utilization of these laws has brought me countless healings which nullified the laws of health and existence generally accepted by mankind.

I am grateful to God for leading me to Christian Science. When my mother, to whom I had turned constantly for guidance and help in all I did, passed on a few years ago, the sense of loss was very great.

One day when I was a child a number of older boys were visiting at our home. They discovered some poison ivy and drew back from it in fear.
