Testimonies of Healing

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.

In times of discord, upheaval, and apprehension such as we are at present experiencing, Christian Science comes to pilot us through every danger and difficulty, showing us how to think rightly, whatever the material conditions may be. Recently I had occasion to be on the high seas when we were confronted by grave danger from submarines, a ship being torpedoed within a few hundred yards of us.

It has been my privilege since the age of twelve years to be connected with the Christian Science movement—first as a pupil in the Christian Science Sunday School, where I learned many lessons of Truth and Love and gained many true friends. While still a pupil in the Sunday school, I suffered at one time from a severe attack of pneumonia.

I have been a student of Christian Science for many years, having reared my family in its teachings. My understanding of this Science has been the most precious thing I have ever possessed, and I have never ceased to thank God for it.

Humbly and gratefully I submit this acknowledgment of benefits received from the study and application of Christian Science. Many years ago I had my first healing through a Christian Science treatment, lovingly given by one of Mrs.

During a period of over twenty years, the Christian Science periodicals have come into my home. The reading and study of them has been not only an exceptionally splendid educational process, but a means of spiritual enlightenment.
