Testimonies of Healing
In the Bible we read that Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " Truth, as revealed in Christian Science, has brought me freedom, after doctors had said that I should never again lead an active life.
Over thirty years ago, when I first began the study of Christian Science, I sent in a testimony of the healing of a young son, of adenoids and infected tonsils. With deep gratitude I feel impelled to testify again to the wonderful years of harmony that have followed.
The Christian Science periodicals have meant so much to me that I wish to express my sincere gratitude for them. They have often met my need through some specific article or testimony.
Before I came into Christian Science I was an avowed atheist. I believed that existence was a matter of chance and circumstance, and that death was the end of it all.
My first big healing in Christian Science took place over forty years ago. I was born cross-eyed, and this defect increased until my eyes were most unsightly to behold.
On page 167 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes, "Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized.
During the past eighteen years Christian Science has brought a great number of blessings into our home. The last few years, in particular, have brought me a wider, freer concept of good, for which I am especially grateful.
Christian Science was presented to me at a time when I greatly needed it, for I was depressed, unsatisfied, and without hope. I had a devoted family and all my material needs were generously met, but this was not enough.
When Christian Science was first tried in our home, for one of the children, I did not think I needed it, for I was not aware that I needed healing of anything. But healings began to come to me very soon after I started to read the Lesson-Sermons found in the Christian Science Quarterly and to attend the Christian Science church on Sundays and on Wednesday evenings.
I wish to add my testimony to the many published in the Christian Science periodicals. I shall never cease being grateful to God, to our Way-shower, Christ Jesus, and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
