Testimonies of Healing

Appreciation of Christian Science as the basis of harmonious living leads me to add this testimony to the thousands of others given by grateful seekers of Truth. Early in my experience as a student of Christian Science I was attacked by an insidious and supposedly incurable disease, which so weakened and unfitted me for normal activity that I was obliged to leave my college work and remain at home for ten months.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT to God and testimony before men of benefits received through Christian Science treatment always bless. I gratefully offer this testimony of my first healing in Christian Science.

For over six years my husband and I have relied exclusively on Christian Science healing for ourselves and our two children, and I desire to express gratitude for the many blessings received through its teachings. About two years ago there was an outbreak of children's diseases in the public school that our eightyear-old daughter attended.

The words of the following hymn express the gratitude I feel for Christian Science ( Hymnal, No. 375 ): We thank Thee, Father-Mother, For blessings, light and grace Which bid mankind to waken And see Thee face to face.

Most of us experience certain decisive healings in Christian Science which may be compared to mileposts along the way. One of these victories, in my case, was the instantaneous healing of a distressing throat infection.

Mere words could never express my gratitude for Christian Science, because all the good that is in my life today I owe directly to this Science. When it first came to me.

In gratitude for the healing Christ, and for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who revealed the Christ to us, I give this testimony to the healing power of Christian Science. Recently my son, aged fifteen, was experimenting with a quantity of gunpowder, when without warning it exploded, severely burning his face, neck, ears, eyes, and nose.

In loving gratitude for Christian Science, I submit my testimony. A few years ago I was physically weak and incapacitated, mentally nervous and burdened; was suffering from eyestrain, and wore glasses; was depleted financially, having no visible means of support and living with relatives.

I should like to express my gratitude for the many blessings that have come to my family and me through Christian Science. This Science was first brought to us some twelve years ago, when our son was in what was considered a very delicate state of health.

For the wonderful help that has been mine through Christian Science. I herewith give thanks with all my heart.
