Testimonies of Healing

That Christian Science sets aside timeworn theories and man-made laws has been beautifully proved in my experience. The young man who later became my husband, and who had been suffering for many years from a nasal condition, asked me if I was sure Christian Science could heal him.

Filled with gratitude to God, I should like to testify to the healing power of Christian Science, for great are the blessings that I have been privileged to experience in the years I have known of this Science. In Isaiah ( 58:9 ) we read, "Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.

My first healing was of the fear of being poisoned if I picked green plants and leaves. This healing took place during the silent prayer at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting.

Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the blessings Christian Science has brought into our home. I am most grateful to the practitioner who helped me return to Christian Science after I had strayed for many years.

With a desire to make some small measure of return for the joy and inspiration that I have received from testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals, I offer this report, which can tell only a small portion of the good that has come into my experience through Christian Science. Our family learned of this religion through my father's healing of asthma at a time when an attack was expected to be fatal.

It is now over thirty years since my testimony was published in the Christian Science Sentinel , and I feel even more grateful than I did on the day I wrote it, for I have had many opportunities since then of proving the truth for which I expressed gratitude. I testified then of my first physical healing, which was the overcoming of severe headaches.

I am increasingly grateful for the many activities of the Christian Science movement provided by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, because they are all evidencing divine Love's care for humanity. For over thirty years I have relied solely on Christian Science, and it has never failed me.

Thirty years ago Christian Science came into my life. This beautiful religion lifted me out of a chronic state of fear and illness into health and joy and has given me a deep trust in God as infinite, eternal Love.

In 1931 I encountered economic difficulties and was also a slave to tobacco and alcohol. I decided to give Christian Science a trial in order to solve my economic problems.

I had the wonderful privilege of being brought up in Christian Science, and when living in or near a town where there was a Christian Science Sunday School, I was a regular attendant. For this alone I can never be grateful enough.
