Testimonies of Healing

My husband brought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, to our home about fifteen years ago, after he had heard that Christian Science heals. I read it casually from time to time, but never very seriously.

For the many blessings which I have experienced since beginning the study of Christian Science I am deeply grateful. When seemingly insurmountable difficulties have arisen, steadfast knowing of the truth has been required to see in them opportunities to prove what I know of the healing and protecting power of divine Love.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude for Christian Science that I give this testimony. I became interested in this Science for the express purpose of being healed physically.

My experience in Christian Science extends over a period of thirty-five years. I began the study of this Science when my whole life seemed about to be blacked out by human suffering.

Christian Science first came to our attention when I was a young girl, and my mother and I took up its study. The first physical healing my mother received was of asthma, from which she had suffered for many years and from which the physicians had given her only temporary relief.

I should like to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science, for the Christian Science Benevolent Association Sanatoriums at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and in San Francisco, California, and for the wonderful healings that are taking place at these institutions. While visiting New York City in 1928 I became very ill and quite helpless from an attack of sciatica.

" O Sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory" ( Ps. 98:1 ).

I Wish to express my gratitude for always having been a student of Christian Science. When I was a very young child, my mother was healed through it of a supposedly incurable disease.

In the year 1906, I was given a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I regard as one of my dearest possessions. For many years I had been ill with an internal growth which the doctors could not remove without an operation.

For some time I have felt a deep sense of disquietude over the fact that procrastination was robbing me of the opportunity of expressing my gratitude for Christian Science through the pages of our periodicals. Every time the thought came to me to express gratitude in writing the excuse always presented itself that I had frequently given testimonies at Wednesday evening meetings and thus had fulfilled my moral obligation to others (Manual of The Mother Church, by Mrs.
