Testimonies of Healing

Whenever I hear read from the desk of a Christian Science church the account of Jesus' healing of the ten lepers, I am reminded of an experience of mine which occurred in 1930, while I was vacationing in the West. One night I attended a concert in a large outdoor bowl.

My first testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel of May, 1919, and once again I wish to express gratitude through the pages of our periodicals. After I married there was much to be worked out, but I found after many setbacks that when Christian Science was properly applied it never failed to meet my need.

My first healing has always been a great inspiration to me, particularly in trying times, for I was completely freed from invalidism of five years' standing. I had sought relief at hot springs and similar places, with no results.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science, not only because of the healings I have received through its application, but because it is giving me a continually growing understanding of God and His ever-presence and power. Christian Science has met my every need since I began its study.

My gratitude for Christian Science is deep and sincere. I have enjoyed the blessings of our beloved religion for many years.

Christian Science has been my only physician for the past twenty-five years, and through the application of its teachings I have received many blessings, healings, and protection. I was healed of the tobacco and social drink habit, sciatic rheumatism, and influenza.

As one whose membership in an orthodox church did not satisfy, I say with humble gratitude that my family and I are now enjoying the opportunity of studying the Science of Christianity and of accepting its attendant blessings. Over a year ago I was disturbed by what appeared to be a bone felon on a finger of my right hand.

I am very grateful to God to be able to testify to the healing power of Christian Science. Since taking up the study of this Science, I have had many blessings and healings.

In the late summer of 1940 I was suddenly taken ill with an ailment which defied the diagnoses of six physicians. Each doctor arrived at a different conclusion, and each specified a different treatment, with the result that, by the end of a month, I was taking thirty-three medicines daily.

I have so often been helped by reading testimonies in our periodicals that it is my prayer that mine may lighten the way of some sincere seeker for Truth and bring a measure of that peace "which passeth all understanding" ( Phil. 4:7 ).
