Testimonies of Healing

My earliest memories are connected with Christian Science and its healing power. I am grateful that even before I could read the Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly for myself, my parents used to read it aloud in our home, and this daily study, continued, has been the most helpful influence in my life.

When I was a boy, Christian Science came to me through my mother, who had been healed of neuralgic headaches from which she had suffered since girlhood. Well do I remember the day when she threw out onto the rubbish pile the homeopathic pills and vials of home remedies which were common in that day.

It is twenty years since I took up the study of Christian Science, although when I was a boy in my teens I had heard of it as a new religion which taught that heaven is here now, that all is harmony, and that sickness, sin, and death are not the truth of being.

In my early childhood my mother was raised from a life of invalidism, due to an accident, to active usefulness as a practicing Christian Scientist. As a result of the protective influence of Christian Science, I never had a serious illness and escaped almost entirely the various so-called children's diseases.

One Wednesday evening while attending the testimony meeting at our local Christian Science church, I experienced a beautiful healing. When the first hymn was announced, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my glasses with me.

Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for Christian Science. During my early teens I was not satisfied with what the world had to offer.
