Testimonies of Healing

The opportunity of attending the Christian Science Sunday School for thirteen years has been my blessed privilege; and the spiritual understanding which has unfolded to me as a result of this attendance has afforded me great protection in countless ways throughout the years. By making my own a few of the simple statements of Truth taught in Sunday school, I received two wonderful proofs of the healing efficacy of Christian Science which stand out in my thought like beacon lights.

I am one of the multitude of individuals who have had the privilege of knowing of Christian Science since early childhood. This blessing is unspeakable, for I early learned to rely on God, who is ever-present Love, and gradually I gained an understanding of the relationship of God and man which has enabled me to use Christian Science effectively in every detail of my daily experience.

About twelve years ago the daily papers in our city published an article each day warning people of a certain malignant disease. I thought it was my duty to read these articles, although my husband tried to persuade me not to do so.

Before I became acquainted with Christian Science, my daughter and her husband had received healings and had been benefited in many ways through Science. They lovingly assured me that I, too, could be freed from sickness and unhappiness.

That "man's extremity is God's opportunity" was very definitely proved to me several years ago, when, through the study and application of Christian Science, and with the loving help of a practitioner, a most inharmonious situation was quickly and beautifully healed. We were striving at that time to overcome lack and unemployment in our home, and since I was the only member of the family who had a position, I felt I could not give it up, although the circumstances under which I worked seemed unbearably unhappy.

I am very grateful to our Father-Mother God; to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower; and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for sharing her great discovery with us. I noticed a change in a friend, and when I asked some questions, she told me about Science and Health by Mrs.

I desire to add my testimony, that the good done me may "redound to the glory of God. " My first healing in Christian Science was that of discouragement and despair, which were completely overcome and replaced with joyous confidence in God and Christian Science.

I am taking this opportunity to give thanks to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for the many blessings I have received. As a child I was brought up in an orthodox Sunday school.

With a heart full of gratitude I wish to report the wonderful healing of my eight-year-old daughter. In the spring of 1937, she became sick with appendicitis.

With gratitude to Christian Science, I offer my testimony of healing. Some thirty years ago I was suffering from a painful growth under the nail of one of my big toes.
