Testimonies of Healing

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.

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.
