Testimonies of Healing

Although I attended the Christian Science Sunday School for a number of years and went to church services quite regularly thereafter, for many years the real import of the teachings of Christian Science did not seem to make much impression upon me. Then I discovered one day that when trying circumstances arose, quotations from Science and Health by Mrs.

When I was a child, my mother was healed through Christian Science, after she had been given up by the physicians. I was sent to the Christian Science Sunday School, which I attended for many years.

For some time I have wanted to send to our periodicals a testimony of the healing power of Christian Science, but I felt I must be quite sure that it really was a Christianly scientific healing, and not one of blind faith alone. I now have positive proof that, when correctly applied, Christian Science heals sickness.

I have been greatly encouraged and inspired for many years by the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals. Several years before taking up the study of Science, I made this remark: "When my children are grown, I want to take up Christian Science.

It is with sincere gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, and to Mary Baker Eddy, our beloved Leader, that I give this testimony, with the hope that someone who may doubt the healing efficacy of Christian Science will be helped. When Christian Science came to my knowledge I was in the depths of despair, because I did not know that God is ever present.

It is with deep gratitude for all Christian Science means to me that I give this testimony. My parents became interested in Christian Science when I was a young boy, and ever since then I have continued its study.

Many times when I have been tempted to entertain thoughts of weariness or depression I have found surcease and satisfaction through a perusal of the testimonies found in The Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel, or in the chapter "Fruitage" in our beloved textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. It is in the hope that my experiences may be of benefit to those seeking encouragement and help that I am writing this testimony.

I came to Christian Science, not for physical healing, but because I had witnessed my sister's healing of organic trouble some thirty years ago. She had been to many physicians, who told her they could do no more for her.

I am grateful for this opportunity to express my gratitude for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and for her gift of Christian Science to the world. Healings such as those of influenza, athlete's foot, headaches, depressed business conditions, and many others have come to me through the loving help of practitioners, while others have come through my study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

For twenty years Christian Science has met my every need. It has comforted me when loved ones have passed on.
