Testimonies of Healing

" God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:.

When Christian Science came to me I was instantaneously healed of hay fever, which had been recurring annually from childhood. Summers spent traveling in the North and West had served to alleviate the distress only partially.

Over twenty years ago acceptance and utilization of the truths taught in Christian Science restored me to health, happiness, and useful activity. Following a major surgical operation, my physical condition had been pronounced incurable by several doctors, and I was losing health steadily.

My mother first presented Christian Science to our home by making the statement that she was going to try it. She did, and received a healing.

In our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, there are two statements that I shall never forget. One is on page 394 : "We should remember that Life is God, and that God is omnipotent;" and the other is on page 496, where we read, "We all must learn that Life is God.

It has been my privilege over a period of many years to be a member of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, as well as a member of a branch church. Early in my study of Christian Science a difficulty arose in my home due to the necessity of a loved parent to make his home with my husband and me.

" Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul" ( Ps. 66: 16 ).

Over two years ago I was depressed and discouraged. My husband's business had failed, his father and mother were both very-ill, and I was without any material security, as we had sold our car and our household goods to meet our business obligations.

I am unspeakably grateful to God that He made Himself known to men through Christ Jesus and grateful also to our loved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has so ably restored the healing works of the Master by making clear to our age the Science of his teaching.

My parents took up the study of Christian Science about forty-five years ago and I can never sufficiently express my appreciation for having had the privilege of being reared in a home where the daily study of the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly had its regular place in the pattern of our family living. Because there were few Christian Scientists in our community, we had the opportunity only occasionally of attending Sunday School, but our home was always a meeting place for those students who were passing through, or temporarily residing in, our town.
