Testimonies of Healing
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.
For over thirty years Christian Science has been my daily guide, my only and ever-present physician. For its uplifting and healing effect in my life I can never be grateful enough.
I am grateful to God for the good that has come into my experience through the study of Christian Science. I realize that it has given me years of active, joyous living which would otherwise have been impossible.
With deep thankfulness to God I submit this testimony in the hope that it will bring help and comfort to others. I am very grateful for what Christian Science has meant and is meaning to me.
That Christian Science heals instantaneously, completely, and permanently I am grateful to bear testimony. Thirteen years ago I experienced a great deal of suffering with my eyes, resulting from nervous exhaustion.
It was through the healing of a sister that I became interested in Christian Science. She had not been well for years, and physicians had told her that after a needed operation was performed she must spend her days as an invalid.
