Testimonies of Healing
Everything that I am, everything that I have, I owe to Christian Science. I have a happy home and a constantly growing business.
For some time I had been wondering why Christians did not heal the sick today as in olden times, but my immediate reason for seeking spiritual healing was that a relative had been given up to die by doctors. After talking it over with my mother I decided to investigate.
No one can be more grateful for Christian Science than I am. My parents turned to it for healing while I was still in my infancy, and I have had the continuous blessing and protection of its teaching ever since.
Although I have been a student of Christian Science for a number of years, I have been apathetic in expressing through our periodicals my gratitude for the manifold blessings I have received from its teachings. I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical healing.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude to God that I give the following testimony. About two years ago I suffered from a severe nervous breakdown.
Christian Science was presented to me several times over a number of years before I was ready to investigate its teachings. Not until I had suffered sufficiently from following the suggestions of mortal mind did I finally take up its study.
I should like to express my deep gratitude to God for all the blessings I have received through my study and application of Christian Science. After a week of suffering, during which I grew steadily worse, I was instantaneously healed when the practitioner called on me, turning my thoughts to the real man of God's creating.
The testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals have been so helpful to me over a period of fifteen years that I feel urged to add mine as a proof that the truth, even when understood only in a small degree, does heal. When Christian Science found me I was in ill-health, living in a very severe climate under most difficult circumstances, and in surroundings utterly antagonistic to Truth.
Mrs. Eddy tells us in Science and Health ( p.
" Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. " During the ten years that I have been a student of Christian Science I have had many proofs that it heals and regenerates.
