Testimonies of Healing

In the summer of 1912, I accepted an invitation to attend my first Christian Science church service. While my friend was extending this invitation and explaining a little about Christian Science, I was healed of constipation.

My first healing in Christian Science was an instantaneous one. I was of pre-school age, suffering from mastoid trouble and a broken eardrum.

This humble effort to express my gratitude for Christian Science is also given with a sincere desire that it will help others. I took up the study of Christian Science rather gradually, first attending the Sunday services, and occasionally reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

" To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings. " This statement by Mrs.

Over thirty years ago the best specialists in the state in which I was then living told me that there was absolutely nothing more they could do for me, and the family physician said, "If you were my own wife, I could not do more than I have tried to do for you. " The picture that presented itself was most disfiguring and developed a sense of false pride and irritation.

" To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings. " It is with great pleasure that I testify to the truthfulness of this statement as found on page vii of the Preface to the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

Prior to my study of Christian Science, and during those years which marked the passing from girlhood to womanhood, I developed an ailment which, as years went on, became chronic. I was a semi-invalid, spending many of my days in weakness and discouragement.

" The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it" ( Proverbs 10:22 ). For sixteen years, since I became interested in Christian Science, I have been proving the truth of this statement.

" Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. " I am happy to express my gratitude for Christian Science.

Since I began to study Christian Science and apply its teachings my whole life has changed. So much is unfolding in my understanding of God and man that day by day my heart is filled with deeper gratitude for the wonderful gift Mary Baker Eddy bestowed on mankind.
