Testimonies of Healing
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.
With a grateful heart I should like to bear witness to a wonderful healing I experienced through the truth as taught in Christian Science. It was more than fifteen years ago that I turned to Christian Science for healing.
I should like to share an experience I had while in high school that proved to me, without a doubt, the healing power of Christian Science. One evening at school, I was taken ill with pain in my side and I felt very sick and miserable.
I feel that I have up to now neglected a great privilege, that of an open acknowledgment of gratitude to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, for the many years of blessings and protection that Christian Science has afforded me, and gratitude for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church. I became interested in Christian Science many years ago through a friend, who had been healed of a number of serious ailments.
Christian Science has brought many blessings to me and to our home. My first healing was remarkable to us.
For over twenty years I have enjoyed the rich blessings of Christian Science. I have received many physical healings, sometimes through my own understanding and sometimes through the help of a practitioner.
