Testimonies of Healing

It is with joy and gratitude that I bear witness to the healing power of Christian Science. I did not come into Science for physical healing, but because I felt disillusioned, insecure, and unhappy.

" When the sick or the sinning awake to realize their need of what they have not, they will be receptive of divine Science, which gravitates towards Soul and away from material sense, removes thought from the body, and elevates even mortal mind to the contemplation of something better than disease or sin. The true idea of God gives the true understanding of Life and Love, robs the grave of victory, takes away all sin and the delusion that there are other minds, and destroys mortality" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p.

Although I was brought up in Christian Science, I allowed a sense of ingratitude to come into my thinking, and as a result I seldom studied Science of my own volition.

A friend who is a Christian Scientist gave my husband two books, the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, telling him that these books contained the answer to all our problems.

I found Christian Science to be the answer to my search for a true and practical religion. As a child I had attended several Protestant Sunday Schools, and later, after I had investigated many different religions, I recognized that Christian Science is the truth.

Over thirteen years ago we lived in a southern city, where I was a member of a Church of Christ, Scientist. I was also the chairman of a committee that had planned a meeting to which the entire membership was invited and for which much prayerful preparation work had been done.

" O give thanks unto the Lord, for lie is good.

It is a joy to me to be able to testify to the fruits of Christian Science. When my father was taken seriously ill in 1934, a friend called my attention to this Science.

I wish to take this opportunity to express m) gratitude to God for revealing Christian Science to our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

I am grateful that I was brought up according to the teachings of Christian Science and attended the Sunday School until I was twenty years of age. When I was a young child, I broke my leg in two places.
