Testimonies of Healing
It was for peace of mind, rather than for physical healing, that I turned to Christian Science; but during the early years of my study, sick headaches, curvature of the spine, chronic throat trouble, and many minor ailments vanished. Our first daughter was a delicate child, under the physician's care much of the time, but her pure thought was receptive to the truth, through which she at once became well and strong.
Christian Science reveals good as rapidly as we accept it—a fact proved in my experience. As this is written, it is eighteen months since I first heard a lecture on Christian Science.
Christian Science has been the only physician in our family for over a generation, and I wish to write of some of the benefits I have experienced through its application. I did not become interested in Christian Science through physical healing for myself, but because I saw other members of my family healed of chronic dyspepsia, astigmatism, eczema, nervous prostration, and many minor ailments.
With gratitude filling my heart for the Christian Science Sunday School, I should like to tell of a healing I had as a direct result of the teachings our children receive there. When my eyes were opened to what Christian Science really is, my youngest daughter was seventeen years of age, very active in an orthodox Sunday school, and as prejudiced against Christian Science as I had been; but after I had studied Christian Science for a few months, she expressed a desire to attend the Christian Science Sunday School, and she seemed very responsive to the teachings received there.
On page 390 of "Science and Health with key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy we read, "It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony. " I am grateful for some understanding of Christian Science, which has enabled me to recognize God, good, as the steadying influence in my life.
IT is with a sense of deep gratitude to God that I can truly testify to the healing power of Christian Science. On April 24, 1937, while my husband and I were near Augusta, Georgia, returning by automobile to our home, a speeding car skidded on the wet pavement and ran into us head-on.
More than thirty-five years ago I drifted toward Christian Science, but I accepted very casually the healings and benefits I received. I was not then willing to give the time and study necessary for progress.
When I first heard of Christian Science, I was on the point of being operated upon for the removal of a growth on the left heel bone. This growth was clearly shown by an X ray.
It is with a joyous and a grateful heart that I testify to the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. Since starting its study, five years ago, I have had much greater happiness, and am steadily realizing that happiness is my birthright and is eternal, there being no limit to God's bountiful blessings to His children.
I gratefully testify to the healing power of Christian Science. In the words of the Psalmist, "O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
