Testimonies of Healing

The Psalmist sang ( Ps. 103:2 ), "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

With sincere humility and deepest gratitude to God I offer my testimony in the hope that it will encourage someone to go forward, just as testimonies of others have encouraged me. I took up the study of Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and since that time my family and I have received many physical healings and other blessings through its application.

I am deeply grateful for Christian Science, also for protection and healing in our family of three, protection for my husband in his work, which required him to be underground, and healings of our son and myself over a number of years. I am grateful too for the wonderful work of practitioners and for the love and help they always give when called upon.

That Christian Science heals both sin and disease and therefore brings freedom and salvation to mankind can be proved by any impartial, sincere investigator of this religion. My first experience with Christian Science was when I received a healing of the smoking and social drinking habits through reading Science and Health by Mrs.

In Exodus we find these words ( 3:2, 3 ): "And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

When I first began to read the articles in the Christian Science periodicals I felt that they would help me to learn to be more loving. I admired those who expressed love and kindness toward their fellow man, and I desired to do likewise.

I have long had an urge to write of the gratitude I feel for Christian Science, but because the establishment of health, happiness, and financial competence has come so naturally into my experience, there seems little to relate except the gradual but steady spiritual progress that has been mine through the consecrated, though often stumbling, practice of its truths as they have been unfolded. Nonetheless, and perhaps because of this continuous growth, my gratitude has deepened into that which cannot easily be translated into words without seeming uneventful and commonplace.

I should like to relate a healing I received through Christian Science of a malignant growth. Because a member of my family, who is not a Christian Scientist, urged me to go to a physician for an examination, I consented, but I made it clear that I would not accept any medical treatment.

In gratitude for the help received from the testimonies of healing as published in the Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel, I should like to relate the following experiences. My first healing was of chronic tonsillitis, and it was instantaneous.

God's great goodness to man is revealed through Christian Science. For many years I have relied on this Science and have had many wonderful healings, such as those of catarrh, diphtheria, an unhappy disposition, and many faults of character.
