Testimonies of Healing

Forty years have passed since my first Christian Science healing. I joined the Presbyterian church in my teens and accepted gladly all it could bring.

Several years ago I was led to begin the study of Christian Science, and this has so completely changed my whole life that I should like to go on record as an individual witness to the transforming power of God through the study and application of Christian Science. A friend presented Science to me three years before I investigated it.

It is with sincere joy that I confirm the statements of my daughter. Christian Science has been a shining light in my life for many years, and I am most sincerely grateful.

The beautiful words of healing and gratitude contained in the testimonies published in the periodicals have contributed much to my growth and healings. I also wish to add a paean of praise for the innumerable benefits I have received during a period of over thirty years.

Until I was twenty years old I attended the Christian Science Sunday School, during which time I received innumerable healings, as well as help in obtaining employment at a time when it did not seem to be easy to find. My gratitude is great to God.

When I asked for a Christian Science treatment I did not have the slightest expectation of being healed or even helped, for I knew nothing of it or its teachings. In one treatment, however, I was healed of what several physicians had pronounced gout, but none of them had been able to heal.

I wish to express my gratitude for all that is mine of joy and health, and for the change of thought and character that has come about for me since I took up the study of Christian Science about fourteen years ago. At that time a friend placed the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, in my hand, asking if I knew anything of it.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Christian Science and for what it has meant to me the past seventeen years. Before coming into Christian Science I believed in "a God afar off.

I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science. Through its study I have learned that to "pray without ceasing" is a practical possibility.

In gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, and to Mary Baker Eddy, I give this testimony. During the past fifteen years I have been bountifully blessed and benefited by the study and application of Christian Science.
