Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my joy and gratitude for the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Through the study of this textbook I received my first healing in Christian Science.

At the close of the last war I was walking through an office building in New York City when I saw the sign "Christian Science Practitioner" on a door. I am not conscious of ever having heard the words "Christian Science" up to that time, nor had I ever seen one of the periodicals, but a tragic experience in my life caused me to endeavor to reach out for more harmony than I was then experiencing.

My acquaintance with Christian Science began in the Christian Science Sunday School, when I was a small boy. There I early learned the Christian Science definition of God; also something of the spiritual meaning of the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and other truths taught to the children.

In his epistle to the Hebrews, Paul describes, in beautiful symbolism, what it means to be a Christian. Part of that description reads, "Ye are come unto.

Over half a century ago, while we were living in Georgia, my father returned from a business trip to our former Michigan home, and brought to us the message of Christian Science. Many times I have heard my father say, "I am convinced that Christian Science is the truth.

My heart overflows with gratitude to God for Christian Science, and to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for her faithful and patient work; also to the loving practitioners who have helped me. About six years ago I was healed of mastoid trouble in the right ear, which caused me much pain for two months.

This testimony is lovingly and gratefully given by one who stepped from darkness into light through Christian Science. Just before taking up the study of Christian Science, I went to a chiropractor for relief from extreme nervousness with all its attendant disorders.
