Testimonies of Healing
I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science, and for the many proofs which I have had of its healing power through prayer. Some of the healings were quick, others were slow, but through them all I learned much of the oneness of God and man.
The desire to express gratitude for Christian Science has been in my thought for some time. We have had so many healings, physical, mental, and financial, that my gratitude knows no bounds.
For the peace and harmony which have come into my life through the study and application of the teachings of Christian Science, I should like to express my gratitude to God through the periodicals. My first experience with Christian Science was about thirty-eight years ago.
I am a Christian Scientist because I have proved for myself, beyond any shadow of doubt, that this Science solves every problem confronting mankind, be its nature physical, financial, moral, or mental. In the very earliest days of my study of this Science I was healed instantaneously of fallen arches.
I have received so much good from other testimonies appearing in our periodicals that I wish publicly to express my gratitude for the many blessings which the study of Christian Science has brought into my life. I hope that my experience may be helpful to others.
About thirty years ago, as I sat on a rock at the seaside, after listening to a sermon from which I had received no inspiration, but rather a sense of depresion, a voice seemed to come to me, saying clearly, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. " This thought seemed very wonderful.
With the deepest gratitude, I give this testimony of the healing power of Christian Science. Twenty-three years ago I was hurt in an automobile accident.
Five years have passed since I first learned of Christian Science. My first healing came when I needed it most.
So many manifestations of love have come to me and to our family of six in the thirty-five years we have relied wholly upon Christian Science that it is with humility, as well as deep gratitude, that I bear witness to its efficacy in healing the sick and reforming the sinner. Speaking to the multitude of John the Baptist, Jesus said, "What went ye out for to see?" The answer to that question is found in Christian Science churches throughout the world every Wednesday night, when testimonies are given of the healing of sickness, of reformation of the sinner, and of the comforting of the grief-stricken.
A few years ago my young son passed on. He had been my reason for coming into Christian Science, after medical research had failed to help or heal him.
