Testimonies of Healing

From early childhood I longed to know about God. I questioned my school teachers, but they did not pretend to know and advised me to ask a minister.

On page 412 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, states, "The power of Christian Science and divine Love is omnipotent;" and again on page 112 , "Christian Science is demonstrable. " Because I have had the opportunity to see these truths proved in my own experience in the healing of a so-called incurable disease, I am grateful to God.

For over thirty-five years I have enjoyed the profound sense of security which Christian Science gives to all who look upon it as the Comforter forecast by Jesus. During periods of stress I have always been able to remain calm because of a trust which simply cannot be shaken.

It is with a heart overflowing with gratitude to God for Christian Science that the following experiences are related with the desire that they will bring hope and comfort to those in need. My introduction to Christian Science came at a time when I was suffering from mental depression and insomnia, occasioned by the belief in the so-called laws of heredity.

Psalms of gratitude and praise Unto God the Father raise. These lines from Hymn No.

Although I was in attendance at Sunday School during my last year of high school, my social activities at that time did not conform to the high standards we are taught in Christian Science. However, I knew that my Father-Mother God was tenderly guiding me, and after graduating from high school the opportunity unfolded for me to take a position which enabled me to have a college education later on.

I desire to express my gratitude for the many blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life. Among my first healings the following stands out in my thought because it was such a convincing proof to me and other members of my family that Christian Science heals.

I am grateful for the guidance and protection which I have experienced through the study and application of the rules of Christian Science. While serving in the United States Navy during the last war, I had numerous proofs of God's ever-present guidance and protection.

In deepest gratitude I send this testimony as evidence of the unfailing help that Christian Science has given me for over twenty years. Meeting Christian Scientists occasionally and noting their invariable cheerfulness and happiness, I felt that the secret must be in Christian Science, and I was eager to learn what it was.

In an old account book kept by my father an entry of April 26, 1889, shows the purchase of a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Some items of doctors' bills and medicine were noted before that date, but none afterwards.
