Testimonies of Healing
In the conduct of my daily business activities it often becomes necessary for me to drive long distances, in many types of weather and over long periods of time. I am very grateful for the protection and guidance afforded me during my travels through the realization of the everpresence of divine Mind, which, through the understanding of Christian Science, guards, guides, and governs every thought, word, and deed.
Christian Science has done so much for me that I long to have my testimony published all over the world. Though able to write but a tithe of all that could be told, I pray that this will help others to find liberation and joy.
Gratitude for those consecrated workers in Christian Science who see the need of others and supply it, prompts this telling of my first healing in Christian Science. About twenty-five years ago, when my son was a baby, I lived with my husband in an apartment house in New York City.
I wish to express my gratitude for the protection my family and I receive through the application of Christian Science. Over two years ago a son returned from school with a note saying he must see his family dentist because a tooth was coming through in a wrong position.
It is with gratitude to God and to Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, that I offer this testimony. I can truthfully say I have had hundreds of healings, many of them instantaneous, through the application of Christian Science.
It was with no hope of being healed that seventeen years ago I began reading, then studying Christian Science. My only desire and hope was to find a more satisfying concept of God upon which to lean while submitting to a serious operation.
For a number of years, painful attacks had been visiting me with increasing frequency, attended with an ache in the vicinity of the stomach. After suffering all one night with pain that had lasted for three days, I asked a member of the household to call a Christian Science practitioner in another city who had helped me before.
A few years ago, when returning to the West Coast, I became involved in an accident and was rushed to an emergency hospital. The verdict was that the case was hopeless.
As I look back on my childhood days in Poland and recall the suffering I went through, my gratitude for Christian Science grows deeper and deeper. I experienced most of the common so-called children's diseases, and as I grew into young womanhood was never free from pain.
Before I became interested in Christian Science I thought I had much to be sad about and that my being sad would cause God to take pity on me and help me. But when I found Science I learned that God was and always had been present and ready to help, and that I needed only to accept this fact and rejoice in it.
