Testimonies of Healing

From childhood I have reaped the benefits of my mother's study of Christian Science, and I am deeply grateful for the beautiful healings that I have witnessed in our family as a result of its application. I myself have had many proofs of the healing efficacy of this religion, but in retrospect I find that the following experience has been especially comforting to me.

Like most Christian Scientists, I have derived great benefit from reading the testimonies in the Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel, and the time is long overdue for me to express in writing my gratitude for the many blessings I have received through Science. Over fifteen years ago, whilst serving in the Royal Navy, I received many letters from my parents telling me of a wonderful religion which healed the sick.

For some years before I took up the study of Christian Science I felt in bondage to my home and hated my environment. I began to attend the Church of Christ, Scientist, for it was the only place where I seemed to find peace.

I accepted Christian Science because I was told it would help my two young children, who were constantly ailing, and I had lost confidence in medical remedies. When the youngest child was very ill, "in my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears" ( Ps.

After spending many years under the care of doctors, I was told that nothing more could be done for me, and I was given up to die. A friend urged me to read Science and Health by Mrs.

I should like to tell of a healing of hemorrhages I received through Christian Science over four years ago. I had been under medical care and X rays, and immediate entry into a hospital was advised.

For two years one of my sisters was crippled in one leg, clue to a diseased condition of the knee joint, with the result that this leg was about two inches shorter than the other. After a consultation, physicians declared that she would never walk normally and would find it necessary to wear a steel brace continuously and also to use crutches.

Each day I am more grateful to God for Christian Science. My first healing was of faulty eyesight.

About thirty years ago I was healed of arthritis in its early stages, chronic indigestion, catarrh, and a condition of the eyelids for which I had constantly used an ointment. All these healings were brought about solely through the reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
