Testimonies of Healing

Prior to the World War I experienced a great deal of discomfort from a physical disorder known as athlete's foot. This disease was greatly aggravated by the conditions under which we lived in the army while in France.

I am indeed grateful to Almighty God, to Christian Science, and to Mary Baker Eddy for a wonderful healing which I received some years ago in Christian Science. I was taken suddenly ill, and was told by our physician that a major operation alone would give me relief.

I am grateful for the understanding of the Bible which Christian Science has given me. The authorized Christian Science literature and lectures are a wonderful help, and our Hymnal has been a great comfort and guide to me.

I hereby bear witness to the foregoing testimony of my wife, and sincerely acknowledge the healing power of Christian Science. I am very grateful that my wife has been healed of tetanus, for the doctor had informed me that the medical profession had not found a cure for her condition.

About seven years ago, while we were going through the so-called depression, I had a lodginghouse upon which we depended for our livelihood. One room did not rent readily, and I visited a Christian Science practitioner one afternoon to gain help on supply.

Although I did not take up the study of Christian Science for healing, but because it appealed to me as a most practical and logical religion and one that opened the Scriptures to me, I have experienced many healings. A case of hemorrhoids was overcome after I started to attend the Sunday and Wednesday evening services of the Christian Science church.

It was many years before I realized my need of something more than I had gained from my religious beliefs and material thinking. I desired healing and a higher sense of life, and I felt ready to give up physicians and medicine for that purpose.

I find unquestionable proofs of God's continual, protective care, in the measure that I sincerely apply the teachings of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, as given in Science and Health, and it is my prayer that I may help as I have been helped. Words fail to express the gratitude my heart feels for this wonderful truth.

It is with deep gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for blessings received through Christian Science that I write this testimony. A few years ago I became suddenly ill with an attack of sciatic rheumatism and a breakdown.

I have known of Christian Science since 1929, and since then I have experienced many proofs of its power to heal and to bless. The first help I received was during a difficult obstetric case.
