Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has indeed been proved to me to be the pearl of great price. In 1945 I had gone to attend my association in a large city.

The reading of the Bible was a daily event in my home when I was a child. I often wondered why remarkable healings were performed without drugs or operations in Bible times and, as far as I knew, not in our times.

My heart is filled with gratitude for Mary Baker Eddy's unremitting labor in establishing the Christian Science movement that everyone may understand and use the scientific law of healing which Jesus taught and practiced. While reading the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

In humble gratitude to our Father-Mother God, who gave us the truth through Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I offer this testimony. My first healing in Christian Science occurred when I was engaged in the medical nursing profession.

When I was a young man, I received a violent blow over the heart while playing football which rendered me unconscious. Although after a while I appeared to recover, the subsequent hardships of active service for two years in France in the First World War produced a liability to sudden attacks of complete unconsciousness if any sort of strain or excitement was undertaken.

Quite a number of years before I became interested in Christian Science, I was prejudiced against Mrs. Eddy; and after taking up the study of this Science, I thought Christian Scientists made too much of her personality.

My parents became interested in Christian Science in 1909 and were both healed of chronic dyspepsia in a few weeks, solely through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

I was reared in Christian Science, and I can recall my mother many years ago telling me that when an infant I was brought back to life by the work of a practitioner. With my mother's passing on I was severed from my connection with Christian Science until our little daughter was healed of a serious illness four years ago.

It is with deep gratitude to God that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. When a young child I loved the study of the Bible and attended an orthodox Sunday School and church.

When it seemed that I had reached the place where I could go on no farther, I was given a copy of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. I had known about Christian Science for as long as I could remember, but had been taught that it was evil, the anti-Christ, and it was only when I became desperate because of the prolonged illness of a child in our home that I was willing to read this book.
