Testimonies of Healing
For the sake of others who may be laboring with a similar trouble, I should no longer delay in offering my testimony of healing. As a child I grew rapidly, and my feet were often cramped in my shoes.
More than forty years ago I bought the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and began to study it. The first healing I had was of sick headaches, which was accomplished so quickly that it started me thinking.
Twenty-four years ago I had lost all faith in religion and felt there could be no God. My father, sister, and mother had all passed on within three years.
I am very happy to relate a few of the many blessings and healings we have experienced through the study of Christian Science in the past fourteen years. Following a serious operation from which I did not fully recover, I carelessly leafed through a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which belonged to a friend, and came upon the words, "Life, Truth, and Love," as a description of God.
Healing in Christian Science comes as a revelation. It is a manifestation of mental regeneration, whereby we prove that "man's extremity is God's opportunity.
I hope this testimony will bring comfort to some mother who fears her son may be called upon to take active part in war. Soon after the United States entered the World War in 1917, my son enlisted for military service.
My gratitude for Christian Science and all its activities established by Mrs. Eddy is inexpressible.
For eleven years Christian Science has been my guide and stay. I have relied on it constantly, and the attendant blessings have been liberally poured out.
The year 1926 found me in a world of darkness and doubt. My mother had just passed on, and I was left alone and discouraged, for at this time I was an albino and was suffering from congenital nearsightedness, the pupils of the eyes moving back and forth.
For many years I have attended Christian Science services and studied the Lesson Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly. I started in the Sunday school when very young, and at the present time I am active in church work.
