Testimonies of Healing

It is always a joy to express gratitude for the blessings received during the more than thirty years that I have been interested in Christian Science. I have experienced many healings, but I wish to tell now of the loving care and protection my son received during the years he served in the armed forces.

With a grateful heart I should like to testify to some of the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. My first healing was of an insect bite on my lip, received while on a fishing trip.

Christian Science has given me a concept of God that means something to me every day and under all circumstances, and this I count to be the greatest blessing I have received since taking up the study of this Science. Our family has been blessed with many physical healings, each one a proof that God's spiritual law is ever present and ever available to man.

I wish to express my gratitude for many healings I have received through Christian Science, which has been my only physician for more than twenty years. A healing of bronchial pneumonia was so outstanding to me that I should like to tell of it here.

About thirty years ago I was sent to hospital as an emergency case, and an operation was performed by an eminent specialist. After two months of intense pain and weakness I was sent to the men dip Hills to recuperate.

During the past thirty-six years I have enjoyed, through Christian Science, blessings too numerous to mention. The first healings I experienced were those of chronic sick headaches, which were among my earliest remembrances, and chronic sore throat.

My heart is filled with gratitude for all the good that has come to me and mine through the study of Christian Science. We were led to freedom from bondage at a time when our youngest daughter had a serious ear trouble.

I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for Christian Science, which came into my life through the healing of my father more than twenty years ago. At that time I enrolled in the Sunday School and attended mostly because my family wanted me to.

In these times of unrest I turn for comfort to the first chapter of the book of Joshua and remind myself that I must "be strong and of a good courage" and accept God's promise that "the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" ( Josh. 1:9 ).

So varied have been the demonstrations of the efficacy of Christian Science in our home that I should like to relate a few of them. Over two years ago I was prevailed upon by a stranger who lived in another city to transact a business deal which involved thousands of dollars.
