Testimonies of Healing
Although I am nearly two thousand miles from my own church, I should like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the help that I have received from Christian Science. I have now been attending Christian Science church services for the past twenty-three years, and during this period have had numerous demonstrations of the healing power of Truth.
I have felt impelled for some time to give grateful testimony to the many healings I have experienced through the study and application of Christian Science. When I was a child, my mother and grandmother were students of this Science, and I had the opportunity of being reared with a knowledge of it.
I am grateful for the friend who introduced me to Christian Science. I had heard little of this Science until she came to our house to spend the day.
More than twenty-six years ago I was the first member of our family to take up the study of Christian Science, and throughout the years I have had many demonstrations of God's love and care. Later my parents took up the study of this Science and received many benefits.
When I was ten years of age my mother passed on, despite my entreaties to God to spare her to us. I then turned away from prayer as of no help, and for many years wandered through the wilderness without God.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases" ( Ps. 103:2, 3 ).
Christian Science has been the only help in our home for as long as I can remember. My gratitude is unbounded for the privilege of attending the Sunday School and later of taking part in branch church activities.
It was my privilege to attend the Christian Science Sunday School from the time I was a small child. I am glad that my parents saw the wisdom of regular attendance.
It is with sincere humility and gratitude to God that I offer this testimony to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. This Science came to me at a time when I did not seem able to cope with the grief that overwhelmed me at the passing on of loved ones within a short time of each other.
Christian Science has been to me, in the years since I began its study, something on which I could lean in time of trouble. It means more to me each day, and I am grateful for the many blessings it has brought me.
