Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science first came to the attention of our family when an aunt, who had been an invalid for many years, returned from California healed through this Science. Although then but a child, I had always believed that the healings given in the Bible could be repeated today.

It is with much gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Truth as found in Christian Science. Some years ago my little girl was sent home from school with a note from the school physician, saying that she had a weak heart, and that she must not be allowed to run or play strenuously, because the exertion might prove fatal.

How grateful I am for Christian Science! Reared in a Christian home, taught to love the Bible and to turn to God in prayer, I found myself dissatisfied, as I matured, with what I had been taught of God. One day it dawned upon me that the prayers I offered were effective only to the extent that I put into practice my desire to be better.

With a deep sense of gratitude for what Christian Science has brought into my life, I offer this testimony. I have applied myself earnestly to the study of all Mrs.

About fourteen years ago I began the study of Christian Science, desirous of knowing more about a religion whose truths had healed me almost overnight of a very distressing and painful condition of the throat, diagnosed and treated the day before as quinsy. The result of medical treatment had brought only an aggravation of the condition, and a great sense of disappointment and disillusionment caused me to turn in my extremity with open heart to a practitioner of Christian Science for help.

After I had searched for eleven years or more in many philosophies and isms for peace, and had tried to discover what the mighty Nazarene meant when he said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," I was led, through circumstances which seemed adverse at the time, to take up the study of Christian Science. Not only have I found the truth in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, but I have proved it many times.

My gratitude knows no bounds for the many blessings and healings that have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science. I have been healed of grief over the passing on of a dear one.

I feel like the Psalmist, who said, "Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. " I have received so many blessings through Christian Science that I can no longer withhold this expression of gratitude for the numerous proofs of divine Love's care and guidance; for right desires blessed and fulfilled; and for an ever-increasing and practical understanding of the unchanging nature of God as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniactive Love.

For all the encouragement and inspiration received from reading the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals throughout many years I am deeply grateful. I have had a number of healings while reading Science and Health by Mrs.

Each day I become more grateful for Christian Science and for Mary Baker Eddy, through whose loving foresight it was established. Attendance in a Christian Science Sunday School has given me a stronger faith in good than I should otherwise have had, and I am happy that my children have this wonderful privilege and are learning to rely on God as their present help.
