Testimonies of Healing
It has been thirty years since I first felt the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. According to medical law, I was doomed from my birth because of inherited neuralgia and weak lungs.
A number of years ago a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, our beloved Leader, was given to me by a dear friend who is a Christian Scientist. At the time I was suffering from stomach trouble, which had bothered me from childhood.
I should like to give the testimony of my first healing in Christian Science. Twenty-seven years ago I was healed of Addison's disease, which is considered incurable.
With a deep and reverent sense of gratitude. I submit this testimony of a healing which opened a new chapter in my life.
Throughout the Scriptures we read that it is good to rejoice. Christian Science gives logical reasons for rejoicing.
I should like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for Christian Science. Some nine years ago I had reached a point in my experience where there seemed little worth living for.
" Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. " I want to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science and tell what it did for me in an hour of great need.
Christian Science has been "a very present help" to me. A few months before I was born my mother took up the study of this beautiful religion, and it has been a source of comfort, being applicable to every need and problem that arises.
It is with deepest gratitude to God for all that Christian Science has done for me and for my family during the last twenty-seven years that I offer this testimony. I heard of this Science through a friend who, when I was in dire distress, lent me her copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
For many years I have enjoyed the innumerable blessings of Christian Science. There have been many lovely healings too, for which our gratitude is unbounded.
