Testimonies of Healing
I have received much encouragement and help over a period of many years from the testimonies in our periodicals. I should like to submit the following few experiences from the many I have had in Christian Science.
With sincere gratitude to God for the many blessings which I have received since learning of Christian Science, I write this testimony. Some thirty years ago, after all material means had failed to benefit a badly broken arm and wrist from which I had suffered for more than a year, I was healed by reading the textbook, Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.
It is high time that I express in writing my gratitude for Christian Science. I have received its blessings since I was twelve years old.
I give thanks to God, the Giver of all good, for Mrs. Eddy and for Christian Science, which she gave to us.
I should like to express my gratitude to God for the many blessings that have come to me from the study of Christian Science. I have read the Bible, and Science and Health and other writings by Mrs.
My introduction to Christian Science was through attending a session of the Sunday School. I was invited to go with a playmate who was a regular pupil.
The manifold blessings which have come to me during the past eleven years I attribute entirely to the healing power of Christian Science. At an early age, I was unable to accept the teachings of the Congregational church which I attended, and later, failing to find a religion which was demonstrable in daily experience and which could explain intelligently the miracles which took place in Jesus' time, I became an agnostic.
Recently I have had daily proof of God's care, and of what an understanding of Christian Science will do in times of distress. There are two specific healings I wish to mention.
The Bible says in Jeremiah ( 31:3 ), "I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. " This truth was proved to me when Christian Science entered my experience.
I wish to express gratitude for the worth-while experiences that have been mine since I began trying to live up to my understanding of Christian Science. After I had been in the Navy a while, I found myself in a position where I was not very useful.
