Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my unbounded gratitude for Christian Science and all the blessings that I have received from it. My mother began its study when I was about five years old; hence I have no recollection of any other teaching.

Christian Science has been for many years and is now a constant source of comfort and help to me in every way. Before learning of this inspired illumination of Truth, I was a sad, melancholy person.

I have been encouraged and helped each day since I became a member of a Christian Science church. By putting into practice the teachings of Christian Science, my family and I have been abundantly blessed and supplied with many of the finer things in everyday life.

It is with a heart full of gratitude for Christian Science that I wish to share with others the many blessings I have had for over forty years. For several years I was a member of an orthodox church, which I had attended all my life up to the time I became a student of Christian Science.

Nearly twenty years ago a friend asked me to see a Christian Science practitioner about a chronic throat condition. With no thought of being healed, but simply that he might not consider me narrow-minded, I went to see a practitioner.

My bringing up was in the orthodox faith, and I adhered to it until a little past the age of twenty, when, through a healing of a member of the family, I was led to accept Christian Science. I promised myself that if I became ill I would ask for Science help, but when, shortly afterwards, I was faced with blood poisoning and inflammation of the bladder, I thought the illness too serious and called upon a physician.

It is with great joy and gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. We can never be grateful enough to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for giving us a clearer understanding of the Christ, Truth, which heals all discord and inharmonious conditions.

The summer of 1925 always stands out vividly to me, for I feel that it was then I began to know God as Life. Never having known what it meant to be well, I had finally reached the point where hope and encouragement from medical aid were denied me.
