Testimonies of Healing

Not to leave unsung one psalm of gratitude, I wish to briefly indicate some of the manifold blessings that have come into my human experience through the study of Christian Science. I was led to investigate its teachings in my search for a more satisfying basis of thinking than the teachings of a religious orthodoxy or the various theories and philosophies I had studied.

That Christian Science heals both mental and physical discord is a well-known fact. It has been my happy experience to learn of and demonstrate this wonderful truth.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I tell of a healing of erysipelas after four days' treatment by a practitioner. The healing came over ten years ago through radical reliance on the Christ, Truth, given to the world by Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and revealed to this age in Christian Science by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

Forty years ago I was healed instantaneously of a ruptured blood vessel through the work of a Christian Science practitioner. The slightest exertion had caused hemorrhage.

I have many reasons to thank God that Mrs. Eddy has made Christ Jesus' teachings practical for us in this age.

The privilege of being taught the truths of Christian Science in the Sunday School is one of the joys I shall always remember, but it was not until some years later, after many trials and difficulties had been faced, that I really appreciated the wonderful teaching that Mrs. Eddy has given us.

Many years ago I found the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, in a public library. I became so interested in it that I borrowed it several times until I had read the entire book through three times.

When I was of high school age, my mother found Christian Science. Changing her seat in a railroad station because a spider was crawling near her, she sat beside a woman who spoke to her of fear in general.

I was very ill for a great many years with asthma. I swallowed much medicine and consulted many physicians, all to no avail.

It gives me great pleasure to express gratitude and to testify that Christian Science has been a way of life for me during the past sixteen years. The statement from Science and Health by Mrs.
