Testimonies of Healing

Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us in "Retrospection and Introspection" ( p. 93 ), "The best spiritual type of Christly method for uplifting human thought and imparting divine Truth, is stationary power, stillness, and strength; and when this spiritual ideal is made our own, it becomes the model for human action.

I am very grateful for the opportunity of expressing my gratitude for Christian Science. Many are the blessings I have received through its ministrations.

My first experience in Christian Science was the witnessing of an instantaneous healing of a dear one, whom I carried bodily into a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. She had reached the so-called fatal stage of asthma, and related ills, and physicians had despaired of curing her.

I took up the study of Christian Science, not for personal healing, but to try to find God. Although I had been brought up in a home where the Bible was much used and had attended an orthodox church since childhood, I still felt there were many things that were unexplained which I wanted to understand.

I want to express my gratitude for Christian Science, the Science that heals and blesses all mankind. In the Bible we read ( Matt.

" Every law of matter or the body, supposed to govern man, is rendered null and void by the law of Life, God. " This beautiful sentence on page 380 of Science and Health by Mrs.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who made this truth available to us. Since taking up the study of Christian Science I have grown to know that, no matter what difficult experiences I may have, all problems can be eliminated by the understanding that, as God's expression, I can no more be identified with those difficulties nor experience them than can God.

In deep gratitude to God for His goodness and for the revelation, through Christian Science, of man's unity with Him, I relate the following experience which occurred twenty years ago, and which has continued, through the years, to give me courage and faith in good. At that time I was employed as a court stenographer.

In childhood I was taught to pray, and to expect my prayers to be answered. I am grateful for this.

To express gratitude for the many blessings which my family has received from the study of Christian Science is indeed a privilege. My study was not impelled by the desire for a physical healing but by an insatiable desire to know God.
