Testimonies of Healing

At a time of a diphtheria epidemic in the small town in which I lived as a child. I was suffering from this disease.

Over forty years ago Christian Science came into our family. My mother, desiring more light on the Bible, inquired of our pastor if he could recommend a book which would enlighten the truths in the Bible, but he had nothing to offer.

With a deep sense of gratitude to God for Christian Science, I give this testimony. I was brought up in an orthodox faith, but was never fully satisfied with its teachings.

Some time ago a very unpleasant-looking growth appeared under my eye. I declared the truth for myself, that I could as God's child reflect only perfection.

I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science, which truly meets our daily needs. Some time ago my husband was told at his place of business that because of a large decrease in sales it would be necessary to let him go.

Centuries ago Christ Jesus said ( John 8:32 ), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " He was stating a spiritual law which is just as applicable to our problems today as it was then.

It is with deep gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. Several years ago with the help of a loving practitioner I was healed of a foot infection.

It has been many years since Christian Science came to my attention. A loved one was suffering, and a traveling salesman who was calling on a business errand, seeing our need, left with the parting remark: "Get Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy and read it.

In my early girlhood I was a member of an orthodox church and took an active part in all of its activities, giving my wholehearted service. But I always felt that this church, as well as others I knew of, was not fulfilling its duty when it made no provision for the healing of the sick.

I have enjoyed the benefits of Christian Science for over forty years, and I therefore feel impelled to give my testimony. I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing, but during the years I have studied it I have experienced a number of healings, which include the overcoming of influenza, weak heart, stomach trouble, colds, and sick headaches.
