Testimonies of Healing
I feel that I can no longer refrain from giving my testimony of healing, although I hardly know where to start in relating the many marvelous healings I have had. I came into Christian Science when I was suffering from a severe nervous breakdown which the best medical aid and treatment in a sanitarium could not cure.
A number of years ago my testimony relating a healing of chronic throat trouble of several years' standing, which had finally resulted in diphtheria, appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel. During the years which have passed there has never been a return of the throat trouble in any way, and it is with a deep sense of humility and appreciation that I offer this testimony, in the hope that it will help someone as I have been helped through reading our periodicals.

I am grateful for an understanding of the truth of being in Christian Science, as taught by Mary Baker Eddy. It has been a guide and protection to me for many years and through many trials.

My gratitude to the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, knows no bounds. Christian Science has brought such an abundance of good into my life that I am impelled to write this testimony.
I wish to express my unbounded gratitude to God for Christian Science and for Mrs. Eddy, our dear Leader, who by her revelation of Truth to mankind has enabled us to understand and demonstrate the power and presence of God to heal sickness, sin, and inharmony of any name or nature.
Someone has said, "Testing times come to us no oftener nor more violently than is needed to make us listen and obey. " Because such a testing time came to me a few years ago, and I know that I can never be sufficiently grateful to God for His love and care during that experience, it is my desire that this testimony may bear a helpful message of encouragement to others.
