Testimonies of Healing

I first became interested in Christian Science for the healing of physical disabilities. At that time I was suffering from an organic disorder, insomnia, extreme fatigue, and indigestion.

That Christian Science can heal, even when death seems near and inevitable, was proved to me in the healing of my daughter, over twenty-two years ago. After three physicians had given up all hope of saving her, I turned to Christian Science, for I felt that Christian Scientists knew how to pray availingly; and I am grateful to say that my daughter was brought back from death's door.

In gratitude for the healing and beneficent power of Christian Science I should like to tell of a few of the healings which have come to me and mine in the past twenty years. I was instantaneously healed of rose cold or hay fever, a condition of several years' standing; and of influenza in its worst stages.

In 1935, when beginning the study of Christian Science, I was a slave to the smoking, drinking, and gambling habits to an inordinate degree. Just prior to this I had made a strenuous effort to stop smoking through the use of so-called will power, but had failed miserably.

I am grateful to know that God is Life, without beginning and without end, and that man, as His image and likeness, is never born and never dies. I was called upon to prove this truth when a loved one passed on, and I can truly say that there was no sense of loss, and a better understanding of Life was gained.

Among the many healings I have experienced in Christian Science was one of defective hearing. Medical reports had been very discouraging; tonsils and the middle turbinated bone of the nose had been removed, but the infection remained.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the many benefits we have received from Christian Science in the four years I have studied it. When our little son was about three months of age, he gradually became very ill.

I was first attracted to Christian Science by realizing how greatly its teachings had helped some friends in a time of bereavement. These friends obtained for me a copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs.

I have long wished to express through our periodicals my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. Several years ago I had a beautiful healing of pneumonia with the aid of a practitioner.

In this time of seeming turmoil and restlessness, of conflicting ideologies and dogmas, I wish to express through this testimony my deep gratitude for Christian Science. Its teachings have proved to be a stronghold of faith, courage, and assurance in my life, and a day never passes in which I do not find myself becoming increasingly grateful for the spiritual love which inspired Mary Baker Eddy to impart to the world the satisfying revelation of the Science of Christ, Truth.
