Testimonies of Healing

Knowing the genuine inspiration gained through these columns, I am profoundly grateful for this privilege of expressing thanks for Christian Science and enumerating some of the many blessings experienced since I became interested in it, nineteen years ago. It was presented to me by a dear relative in Colorado, where I had taken a very young daughter, who had developed a "bad lung" from influenza.

" Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. " While reading this verse from Psalms recently I was reminded of the fact that I have never openly expressed my gratitude for the spiritual understanding of God, good, as taught in Christian Science, which carried me through a very difficult experience and saved my life.

My heart overflows with gratitude for the constant and abundant good which comes to us through the many activities in the Christian Science movement. "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord.

I should like to express my humble appreciation for all that Christian Science has done for me during the past thirteen years. I was seeking the understanding of my true selfhood when I began to study Science.

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.

I should like to add my hymn of praise and gratitude for the many blessings I have received since taking up the study of Christian Science. Its clear, logical reasoning definitely refutes every argument of evil.

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.

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.

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.

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.
