Testimonies of Healing

After many years of reaping the benefits of Christian Science and receiving much encouragement from reading testimonies in the Christian Science literature, I submit this expression of gratitude, hoping that it may in some measure bless those who read it. Having been left in a deplorable condition by repeated sunstroke, and receiving no help from doctors, I spent many years in bondage to fear.

One of the lovely hymns of the Christian Science Hymnal (No. 382) asks a very vital question: "What is thy birthright, man?" At one time I was stricken with double pneumonia.

For some time I have wished to give my testimony to the healing power of Truth. For many years I had searched for the "pearl of great price," but had never been quite satisfied.

This testimony is given with the desire to share with others another proof of the healing truth as taught and demonstrated by Jesus and revealed to us in this age by Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. " From February to July, 1938, I consulted fourteen medical physicians and two chiropractors about my physical condition.

I am happy to express my sincere gratitude for Christian Science, which has met our every need for the past twelve years. I have been healed of broken arches that were so painful I had to wear bandages all the time.

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.
