Testimonies of Healing

" God is Love. " These words spoken by a consecrated practitioner were my introduction to Christian Science, through which we learn that God, good, is All-in-all and error has no power.

Christ Jesus promised ( John 8:31, 32 ), "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " How to know what is true has baffled human beings throughout history; however, the study and application of Christian Science, as taught in Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, illumine the above statement of our Master and give the correct rules for healing sickness and sin.

" Sing unto the Lord a new song," declared the Psalmist; and again, "Make his praise glorious. " During the time that I was training for a musical career, there were many opportunities to prove the value of Christian Science.

My joy is great for having had the firm foundation of training in the Christian Science Sunday School, although at the time I did not appreciate it as I should have. I drifted away from Science as I grew older, until my children came.

It gives me great pleasure to be able to testify to the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. Seven years ago a great change came into my life when I accepted its teachings.

What has been done for me by a correct concept of God as revealed through Christian Science can best be described in the words of the fortieth Psalm: "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.

Since 1936 it has been my privilege to receive many blessings from the study and practice of Christian Science. Through these years my physical healings have been many and include the overcoming of headaches, influenza, colds, sprained knee, skin irritation, dislocated jaw, and an impacted wisdom tooth.

I became interested in Christian Science through reading a series of articles that were published in a well-known magazine many years ago. These articles were called "Christian Science Exposed.

In Ephesians ( 2:8 ) Paul writes, "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. " It was by God's grace that Christian Science was presented to me through the journal and Christian Science Sentinel when I had reached my mental and physical extremity.

For a long time I have wanted to express through our periodicals my gratitude to God for Christian Science. On many an occasion when I have been in the depths of despair, with no human hand to help, a testimony from the Journal or the Christian Science Sentinel has given me courage and renewed faith to press on.
