Testimonies of Healing

I experienced my first healing in Christian Science during the influenza epidemic of 1919. I was then living in my parents' home whilst my husband served abroad in the Army.

All the good that has come into my experience during the past fifteen years I owe to Christian Science. At a time in my life when man's extremity was God's opportunity, I prayed for the light and was led to investigate the teachings of Christian Science.

I have been healed, blessed, and comforted many times during the years in which I have been a student of Christian Science. One healing for which I am very grateful is that of chronic sick headaches.

About fourteen years ago a young college student, a Christian Scientist, was staying in my home. She lived very close to the teachings of Christian Science, and this made a great impression on me.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude for Christian Science that I write this testimony. In Isaiah we read ( 65: 24 ), "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

For a number of years I have been reading and benefiting by the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals. I was awakened from a thought of receiving to one of giving by reading an article that was published in The Christian Science Journal.

I have waited too long to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science and all that it has done for me and my family. About twenty-one years ago I had a desire to get nearer to God and felt that the religion I was following did not help me much in this respect.

My gratitude goes out to God for the precious gift which Mary Baker Eddy gave to the world in her revelation of Christian Science. Membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church has been a great help to me in many ways.

The change in my outlook on life since taking up the study of Christian Science has been so wonderful that I have long felt the urge to express my gratitude in writing. After several years of medical and hospital treatment a weakened internal condition caused by the birth of our son resulted in periodic hemorrhages.

It is a happy privilege to acknowledge all the good that has come to me for many years through the application of Christian Science, which has brought freedom from physical suffering, danger, limitation, loneliness, and unhappiness. My first healing came about through the reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
