Testimonies of Healing
Little did I realize when coming to the United States in 1917 what a happy life of usefulness was before me. The words Christian Science were new to me; but it was not long before I learned that those words meant religion—a religion that would meet my every need.
Let the words of the Psalmist be the prelude to my humble testimony ( Ps. 105:1 ), "O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Jesus said ( John 18:37 ), "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. " A few years ago, following the birth of our daughter, I found myself in great pain and distress.
In gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me I submit the following testimony. While was in combat service with the Army Air Forces during World War II our plane was shot down by antiaircraft fire at a twenty-two-thousand-foot altitude.
" "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me," sang the Psalmist ( Ps. 30:2 ).
It is with sincere gratitude that I record my testimony regarding many healings received in Christian Science. Since 1919 God has been my only physician.
I should like to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for my family and me and for what it is doing for the entire world. I am especially grateful for the wonderful healing work The Christian Science Monitor is doing in bringing the light of Truth to the world situation.
With heartfelt gratitude I wish to testify to the healing and sustaining power of Christian Science and to the unflinching faith of the practitioners. I had been unable to work for some time and was weak, nervous, discouraged, and filled with fear.
For fifteen years I have benefited from the study and application of Christian Science, and for the blessings received I should like to express my deep appreciation. Christian Science found me at a time when I was utterly dissatisfied with life; it was indeed just what I had been needing.
Out of great gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me I offer this testimony, hoping it may help others as I have so often been helped myself by the published testimonies. Many years ago, while residing in Chile, I became very ill with constant headaches.
