Testimonies of Healing

That "man's extremity is God's opportunity," I have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. I wish to testify to my healing through mental surgery.

While in the yard picking roses, two years ago, I fell and broke my arm. Thinking it was only a bad sprain, I tried to know the truth about it as we are taught in Christian Science.

I am grateful for the many healings I have experienced through Christian Science treatment. I have been healed of a sprained ankle, an infected finger, acute pain, and severe headaches.

I was healed in Christian Science after a long period of sickness with stomach and bowel trouble. Physicians I went to consulted with specialists, all available medicines and theories were exhausted, and at last I underwent a number of operations.

When I was a child I attended a Christian Science Sunday School. I shall always be grateful for this privilege.

I should like to add a little to this testimony of my wife's. I saw her make this demonstration, which mortal mind would consider a miracle, but which, in the light of divine Mind, is recognized as proof of God's healing power.

The words of Christ Jesus ( John 8:32 ), "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," can be proved by all mankind. I am grateful that I turned to God, whose laws have been made understandable by the teachings of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

With a heart full of gratitude to God, and with the hope of benefiting others as I have been helped through reading the testimonies, I record here some of the blessings received through my study and application of Christian Science. In 1930 I spent a year traveling in the Philippine Islands, where I contracted amoebic dysentery and also sprue, a tropical disease for which medical science at that time knew no cure.

I am deeply grateful that when I was a very small child my mother was led to Christian Science and almost immediately placed me in the Christian Science Sunday School. During those years, I did not realize all the good which was being given to me, and which I was storing up for later use.

With a deep desire to help others who may be laboring with a slow healing I give this testimony. I took up the study of Christian Science for the healing of a malignant growth.
