Testimonies of Healing

When I was a child I became a member of one of the Protestant churches, but as I grew older and began to think and reason for myself I could not accept its teachings. I felt that there surely must be a better explanation of God and His universe than that which had been presented to me, so I drifted away from that church.

Seventeen years ago, I was an invalid suffering from stomach and heart trouble. Physicians who were attending me had said I should never be well and was in danger of passing on at any time.

Twenty-six years ago our family physician said he could do no more for me. It was then that I remembered that a friend had taken me to a Christian Science testimony meeting in Glasgow, Scotland.

For about twenty-eight years Christian Science has met my every need, for which I am unspeakably grateful. I have had many healings through radical reliance on Truth as taught by Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

Christian Science came to our home over thirty-eight years ago, and during that time has proved to be the great and only physician, healing mental, physical, moral, and financial difficulties. At that time I was a mental and physical wreck, with the verdict of incurability put upon me.

With a heart full of gratitude for Christian Science and for the blessings it has brought into my life, I give this testimony. In Isaiah we read, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy has given us a most precious recipe for the healing of all problems. That Christian Science heals has been proved many times by its students.

I am glad to express in writing the gratitude I feel for all the good I have experienced through the study and application of Christian Science as given to the world in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by our courageous and much-beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. This truth was presented to me about ten years ago by my wife, who had heard about it from a friend.

My first healing in Christian Science came when I was eight years old. A case of measles had left me with ear trouble and deafness.

In November, 1927, I experienced my first healing through Christian Science treatment, at which time I turned wholeheartedly to the study of Christian Science. In 1929 I entered a state university, and despite financial difficulties I was enabled, through the application of Christian Science, to complete my education.
