Testimonies of Healing

I am daily grateful that I was early taught the fruits of obedience. My mother was a devout Christian Scientist, who believed in adherence to the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy and the bylaws of our own branch church.

I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science. W hen I first heard of this wonderful Science I was told it would meet every human need.

Many years ago "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was given to me with the remark that it was a book which heals sickness as Jesus healed it and that it helps one in any circumstance. This remark aroused in me a great interest in the book, and I read it every free moment I had.

My sincere gratitude for Christian Science prompts me to write this testimony with the hope that it may encourage others. Over and over again in my experience that which seemed impossible has become gloriously possible through the study and application of our wonderful religion.

I have had many physical healings in Christian Science, but I think I am grateful most of all for a healing of despondency and listlessness. Almost all my life, until I became interested in this Science, I had been unable to find a satisfactory reason for human existence, and I became morose and unfriendly.

I have had many healings through the understanding and application of Christian Science, and I am so grateful to Mrs. Eddy for Science and Health and her other writings, which bring us this wonderful Christlight, I realize more each day how inspired she was.

I want to give my word of gratitude for Christian Science. Shortly after I started reading Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, which a loving neighbor had recommended to help me overcome a confused sense of thought, my eleven-month-old daughter was stricken with spasms.

Many years ago, when I was suffering from an extreme nervous condition, Christian Science was called to my attention by a fellow employee. I evinced enough interest to visit a practitioner and purchase a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

How wonderful it is that Mary Baker Eddy has provided avenues of expression through the testimony meetings and our periodicals whereby students of Christian Science may attest to the healing efficacy of this great religion! In my early home life I had orthodox religious training, but I sought a more practical, everyday religion. This thirst was quenched a few years ago, when Christian Science was lovingly offered to me.

My first experience with Christian Science was when our son was about twelve years old. He was very sick with a high fever, and upon examination the doctor said that a serious operation was necessary.
