Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has been in our home since my childhood. I remember the little book brought to us by a kind neighbor, and one day when I returned from school with all the symptoms of scarlet fever, my mother read to me from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and I was completely healed when I awoke the following morning.

In compliance with our Leader's counsel regarding written testimony (Manual, Art. VIII, Sect.

Humbly and sincerely I desire to submit written testimony to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. My gratitude for the beloved Discoverer and Founder of this Science, Mary Baker Eddy, increases with each demonstration of its power.

Since my initial glimpse of the truth of Christian Science it has been unfolding to me in ever-increasing clarity, and I am more impressed each day with its simplicity. I have had many proofs of how right ideas entertained in consciousness heal the ill effects of the wrong ideas which they supplant.

For those who seek the meaning of life, and the fundamental truths of being. Christian Science is indeed the way.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to express my appreciation and thanks for Christian Science, the only way of life. It has been my privilege to attend the Sunday School and enjoy its splendid teachers since I was five years old.

For some time I have felt that I should express gratitude for Christian Science through our periodicals. Previous to the time that I began to study Science I faced each new year of teaching with the question, "Will there be enough sick leave days for me for the school term?" In 1924 I was teaching in an eastern city.

For the concept of God and of man's relationship to Him gained through the study and application of Christian Science, I am deeply grateful. For many years I have turned to Science for the solution of all problems, and it has never failed.

I desire to be counted with him who returned to give thanks for his healing as recorded in the seventeenth chapter of Luke. Three years ago the passing on of my cousin, who had been my girlhood companion, changed my entire plan of living.

Like many others who have experienced healing through Christian Science treatment I, too, often have occasion to recall one of my first physical healings and ponder its simplicity. Some time ago an aunt living in another state visited our home hoping to interest our family in the study and application of Christian Science, and, since we lived in the country where there was no church, to show us how it was possible to have church services right in our home, according to the order prescribed in the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy.
