Testimonies of Healing

I have long wished to express gratitude for the blessings and healings resulting from the study of Christian Science. Among the many healings experienced in our home have been those of periodic headache, constipation, broken bones, blood poisoning, contagious diseases, severe burns, and chronic colds; also, invalidism resulting from an injury was healed, though physicians had advised an operation.

Over a period of many years I have been helped and encouraged through the reading of the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals. Many times I have felt the desire to testify to the healing, regenerative, and protective power of Christian Science in my own life.

I wish to express gratitude to God for the benefits I have received from the study and application of Christian Science. Immediately following World War I, after concluding a job of shipbuilding I had contracted to do, it was necessary for me to find another position.

In Psalms 40:10 we read, "I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. " I have had many proofs of God's righteousness, faithfulness, and loving-kindness, and I am grateful to share a few of them.

It is with much gratitude and joy that I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for Christian Science and for the blessings I have received through it. Science came to me in the darkest hour of my life, when I was without hope, fearful to the extreme, physically ill, and, worst of all, firmly convinced that God did not exist.

Christian Science came to me at a time of great trouble and unemployment. The friend who presented Science to me said that it would help me to secure employment, and I was therefore ready to accept this help at once.

For the many blessings bestowed upon me by our omnipotent Father in His boundless goodness, I cannot be sufficiently grateful, particularly for the fact that He led me to Christian Science, which has become a shining light in my life. "The darkest hour precedes the dawn.

For years the testimonies in our periodicals have been a great help to me, and I want to express my gratitude for them. Christian Science was presented to me by a friend who saw my need of healing.

Christian Science has indeed given me "beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" ( Isa. 61:3 ).

I am very grateful that I have had another proof of the healing efficacy of Christian Science and desire to share my experience with others. For several years I had a small brown blemish near my temple.
