Testimonies of Healing

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.

About a year ago our small son was so badly bitten by a dog that his ear was almost off. When a Christian Science practitioner was called she voiced the nothingness of bestial ferocity, and said that God's child had never come into contact with it.

It is indeed a joy to testify to the beneficent results experienced through the study and application of Christian Science. Various kinds of discord which I have experienced have been overcome with remarkable success.

With sincere humility and deepest gratitude to God I offer my testimony that bones can be perfectly set and quickly knit by mental surgery alone, through Christian Science treatment, which was proved in my experience. The proof is documented by X-ray photographs and a surgeon's letter, testifying to a perfect setting and knitting, also that I was in no pain at the time he saw me, less than twenty-four hours after the accident.

With the Psalmist I say: "I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

For many months I had been praying to be lifted out of a serious problem. In early childhood I had witnessed the healing of my mother of an acute heart ailment, and because of this proof of God's power.
