Testimonies of Healing

Some time ago, all I had hoped for or thought I wanted was washed away. I was suffering from a complete mental and physical breakdown.

I have permitted too many years to elapse without sending in a testimony, perhaps unintentionally waiting for something important to occur. The healing of a series of boils was my first demonstration of Truth; this condition was healed without the slightest inconvenience or thought of medication.

At the beginning of the present war, I was five months finding a home and was inclined to be depressed about it. Every time I found a suitable flat, something would prevent me from taking it.

Several years ago, in the office where I was employed, a group of women who were friendly toward Christian Science asked me if I had ever known of the healing in Christian Science of harelip. I was particularly interested in the question, for I had spent months of mental agony prior to the birth of my first baby, fearing that he would inherit the condition of cleft palate, which had appeared in two members of my husband's immediate family, and, according to general belief, having skipped a generation, was due to manifest itself in his offspring.

" Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. " These words came to me at a time when, overcome with grief because of the sudden death of my husband through an accident, I was crying and praying to God to comfort me in my sorrow.

I deem it a privilege to testify to the fact that the promise which Christian Science held out to me, some twenty-five years ago, has been abundantly fulfilled. It came as the complete answer to my longing to know God and so to understand what life really is, healing me, almost at once, of nervous indigestion of long standing, and of the need of wearing glasses for astigmatism, which had been necessary during the previous ten years.

When I recall the good that has come into my life through the study of Christian Science I am humbly grateful to our precious Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for her pure life and steadfast love for God and man which enabled her to explain the teachings of Christ Jesus so clearly that even a little child can demonstrate them. Christian Science is a joyous religion because it offers an immediate way out of discordant thinking and its discordant effects.

To me Christian Science has truly been the Comforter which our beloved Master promised us the Father would send in his name. I would not exchange even a small part of what I have learned through Christian Science for all that I have learned through four years in high school, four years in college, and in over twenty-five years of business life.

It is with much gratitude that I record what Christian Science did for me before my marriage, and has done since then for my family and myself. After my parents passed on I was invited to live with an aunt and an uncle.

Christian Science has transformed my entire life. I gratefully acknowledge my freedom—physical, financial, and mental—from years of self-imposed bondage.
