Testimonies of Healing

I have long wished to express gratitude for many blessings resulting from the study of Christian Science. To human sense I traveled an unhappy and painful pathway for many years.

This is in grateful acknowledgment of a healing, which has been permanent, that I received when attending a Christian Science lecture some time ago. Every year I suffered at about the same time from very bad attacks of influenza.

I am very grateful for the healing of a sprained ankle and dislocated knee joint which resulted from a fall. Being alone in the house at the time of the fall, I was filled with fear, but I constantly declared God's presence and power as I pressed the kneecap back into position.

We did not come to Christian Science for a healing, for we did not realize at the time our great need; but, in expressing a little kindness to a friend, we were led to a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in one of the Christian Science churches in a large city. Nothing we have experienced so nearly approaches our thought of heaven as that Wednesday evening meeting.

Christian Science was brought to my attention by a neighbor many years ago. I did not take up the study at the time, but always made the mental reservation that if there were a desperate need in the family, I had something to turn to for help.

It is with joy and deep gratitude that I give this testimony. I took up the study of Christian Science about ten years ago, after being told by one of the outstanding medical specialists that he had exhausted all the skill at his command, and that there was nothing further he could do for me.

It is a very happy privilege to be able to verify the healing of my wife which resulted from the study of our textbook. It was through this healing that Christian Science came into our home, and it has been a protection to us through every trial.

It is with deepest gratitude that I testify to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. Prior to my study of Christian Science I was suffering from a nervous condition and was under the care of a physician, who stated that the condition was caused by change of life.

I am most grateful to God and to Mrs. Eddy for this wonderful Science that has been revealed and demonstrated, and I am grateful for the glimpse that I have caught of it which has enabled me to do some good for mankind.

In Ezekiel we find this remarkable statement: "I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. " When I turned to Christian Science as a last resort, over twenty-five years ago, with one treatment I was healed of nervous prostration and a grievous trouble in the upper part of the spine.
