Testimonies of Healing

I have neglected all too long the duty and privilege of recording some of the great benefits that have accrued to me through Christian Science. In my youth I was closely connected with the Church of England, being confirmed therein and serving as a chorister for some ten years.

That Christian Science heals has been proved repeatedly to me during twenty-five years. I began the study of its literature in order to help someone who was struggling under a condition of insanity which materia medica had not healed.

My gratitude for Christian Science impels me to send my testimony in the hope that it will help others as I have been helped by the many testimonies that I have both read and heard during the last six years. I have been healed of numerous difficulties, such as grief when parents passed on, burst varicose veins, and colds; and a lost diamond ring was returned.

" O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things. " It is with joy that I join this song of praise to God, adding my gratitude for this practical religion, Christian Science, and for the privilege of the three members of our family having membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church.

I shall never cease to be grateful for my first healing in Christian Science, because it provided me with an indisputable proof that the healing and redeeming power of divine Love is as active and potent now as it was at the time of Jesus. I was in great pain and was confronted with an operation for a chronic stomach complaint.

When I was a child I attended the Sunday school of an orthodox church of which my parents were members. There was also a Christian Science Sunday School within walking distance, which I was permitted to attend at will.

I am grateful that through the study and application of Christian Science thousands are in some measure learning to answer the question, "What is truth?" For several years I had searched for a practical religion. Membership in an orthodox Protestant church had long ceased to meet my ever-expanding spiritual needs.

" Love alone is Life," writes Mrs. Eddy ( Poems, p.

I was led to Christian Science after deep, conscientious prayer at a time when I was greatly in need of physical healing. The doctors had diagnosed the condition as seven impacted vertebrae, the effect of my being thrown from a horse.

More than ten years ago it was my privilege to have a testimony published in the Sentinel. Since then, I have experienced so many blessings that I wish to testify again, hoping that I may give help and comfort as I have received them, through our periodicals.
