Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science is teaching me to understand the Bible. As a child I attended a Christian Science Sunday School with friends, and learned enough about the truth so that I turned to it for help some fifteen years later, when my home and loved ones were threatened by error of many kinds.

My gratitude for the many blessings which have been bestowed upon me since I became interested in Christian Science is beyond expression. It has met my daily needs and been a protection in two car accidents.

Only as I regarded each new experience, no matter how difficult it seemed, as an opportunity to prove God's ever-presence and loving care and the consequent nothingness and powerlessness of evil to disturb or darken the glorious, were joy and freedom maintained "with signs following. " When I received a telephone call that my son had a broken collarbone that was being set by the doctor (owing to the regulation of the university football team), instantly the "still small voice" came to me, saying, "Man's unity with God is unbroken.

I became interested in Christian Science about eight years ago, when I was suffering from a nervous condition. The healing has been gradual, but from the beginning of my study I found more and more harmony coming into my experience.

As a young girl, I attended an orthodox Sunday school, but never felt that it was meeting my need. A few years later I had tonsillitis, and my mother, who had told me something of Christian Science, asked whether I wanted a doctor or Christian Science.

It is with gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me that I desire to share some of my healings with others throughout the Field When Christian Science found me I was a weak and nervous woman, full of fear, and with no real joy. But this has been changed through the teachings of Christian Science.

For the comfort and healing I have experienced through the prayers of Christian Science practitioners and also by my own effort, I wish to express my gratitude to God through our periodicals. In 1926 I was introduced to Christian Science and sought the aid of a practitioner.

For years I have read the testimonies in the periodicals and reaped benefits therefrom. Now I want to add my gratitude, with the hope that it will help someone as I have been helped.

Christian Science was introduced to me about twenty-three years ago, when I witnessed a very wonderful healing of a friend, whom doctors had failed to help. This healing so impressed me that I determined, even though I knew little of Christian Science, to seek its aid when necessary.

In the Bible we read that "God is a consuming fire. " Christian Science has proved this statement for me during the past twenty-two years.
