Testimonies of Healing

Christian science has brought me many blessings, and I am deeply grateful for them all. The one I am most thankful for is the understanding which I am gaining of God as divine Principle, Life, Truth, and Love, and which I can demonstrate in my daily life.

While passing through an experience of broken home ties, before knowing anything of Christian Science, I prayed the prayer of David, "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. " A few years later, feeling that I was not progressing spiritually, although attending an orthodox church of which I was a member, I prayed earnestly to God that He would show me the way to a better understanding of Him.

For more than twenty-five years I have depended on Christian Science in solving my problems, and as a result many blessings and healings have come to me and my family.

Many times the desire has come to me to express, through the pages of our periodicals, my gratitude to God for Christian Science. Christian Science was first presented to me over thirty years ago, when I was physically and mentally in need of help.

For over twenty-five years I have enjoyed the benefits which come to us through the study and application of Christian Science, and words cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for the blessings I have received, and for the freedom it offers to the whole world, especially freedom from fear. I became interested in this Science through the loving offer of a neighbor to lend me some of the Christian Science literature, which I eagerly accepted.

I want to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and for my entire family. Since I turned unreservedly to it nine years ago, healing has followed healing, and blessing followed blessing, until we count ourselves rich, not in worldly goods, but in health and spiritual strength, which money cannot buy.

Christian Science was brought to my notice in 1923, when a Scientist came to board with us. I was in very poor health, for I was having periodic attacks of headache, asthma, and hay fever.

Christian Science came to me in answer to my desire for Truth, when I was living in one of the country districts of Western Australia. I had been reading library books for about three years, but it became more and more difficult to find a book worth reading, though new ones arrived every month.

I have enjoyed so many benefits through Christian Science that I scarcely know where to start in expressing my gratitude. It is nearly thirty years since I first witnessed a healing through the application of this Science, although at that time I knew nothing about it.

I Very well remember the first time that I really listened when someone presented Christian Science to me. I had suffered at intervals for nearly twenty years from the effects of a fall on the ice while I was snowshoeing.
