Testimonies of Healing

From my own experience I can truthfully testify that there certainly is a good God to whom we may go for help and comfort. I gave up study for the ministry in 1910, because at that time I doubted God's existence, and as my prayers for a revelation of God appeared not to be answered, I decided to seek Him in my life experience, as many people in Bible times had sought and found Him.

In Psalms we read, "Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. " In considering this verse in Psalms I am reminded of God's goodness to me, and I feel I should like to share my experience, hoping that it may encourage others who are endeavoring to extricate themselves from the mesmerism of materia medica, as well as other material systems.

The regenerating and healing effect of Christian Science has been demonstrated many times in my experience. A dear relative, a Christian Scientist, presented proof to me, about twelve years ago, that peace could be experienced where fear seemed to grip me.

In "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 188) our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes, "It is the translator, not the original Word, who presents as being first that which appears second, material, and mortal; and as last, that which is primal, spiritual, and eternal.

The change which has taken place in my thinking, and consequently in my daily experience, during the years that I have been studying Christian Science, increases my gratitude to Mary Baker Eddy. When understood, Science meets all human needs.

It is with deep gratitude that I give this testimony. I have had numerous proofs of the efficacy of Christian Science.

A friend sent me a copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, nearly four years ago, when I was sick, depressed, and seemingly beyond help. I had consulted six doctors, but had received only temporary help and continued to lose weight.

I feel I must express my deep gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me. When I was a little girl I went to church and listened to the minister telling about the healings of Jesus.

I feel that I have too long withheld a recital of the many blessings which have been mine since I, when a girl, became interested in Christian Science through my father's healing of chronic dyspepsia. The ailment had troubled him all his life and had been so severe that for long periods toast and eggs were his sole foods.

I am very grateful for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to me. We have had many healings in our family, the most outstanding being that of my little son.
