Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my appreciation for having been introduced to Christian Science early in my life. I was enrolled in the Sunday School at the age of three.

After having the joys and benefits of Christian Science for over sixteen years, I feel I should wait no longer to express my sincere gratitude for this revelation of the truth of being, which our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has given to the world in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. " The revelation that God is infinite Spirit, Mind, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love, and that man is a spiritual idea, forever living, moving, and having his being in God, is constantly a source of joy and inspiration to me.

I give this testimony with the hope that it will reach someone who will be cheered by a further proof of the fact that it is God, and God alone, who heals all our diseases and makes us whole. My family and I have relied on Science for thirty-nine years.

I became acquainted with Christian Science more than forty years ago. At that time my husband and I were living in the United States.

Over seven years ago my eight-year-old daughter was stricken with severe pains in her back. This condition increased in intensity and was accompanied by an extremely high temperature.

When a child I often sought God through prayer and longed for more convincing evidence of His nearness. I am sure that this early effort to find God prepared my thought for Christian Science, which came to me when I was a young mother with two sons to rear.

In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke is related a beautiful scene which was enacted over nineteen hundred years ago, when the little daughter of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, was restored to life by our blessed Master, Christ Jesus, the Way shower. How true it is that many of these so called miracles are being repeated in this age through the healing power of Christian Science.

That Christian Science heals instantaneously, completely, and permanently I am grateful to bear testimony. About twenty six years ago the statement, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity," was proved in my experience.

Christian Science was presented to me in my girlhood at the time of my entrance into art school, by one who soon became a dear friend. I frequently spent the night at her home, and we often lay awake for many hours talking about the truth concerning God and man; and many of my questions, stemming from a great desire to know more of this Science, were answered.

All that I have of any worth I owe to Christian Science: better health, a better financial position, and a better sense of home. I have had many physical healings, though I did not seek to be healed.
