Testimonies of Healing
In gratitude for the guiding power of Truth as manifested in my school and business experience, I wish to give this testimony. I have had the wonderful privilege of being brought up in Christian Science, and regard this as the biggest blessing of my life.
I am very grateful for all the good that has come into my life since I took up the study of Christian Science, and I have long desired to express my gratitude through the periodicals. My first contact with this Science came in 1929, when I was traveling.
An acknowledgment of the many blessings I have received through Christian Science can be delayed no longer. These blessings continue to unfold, and each day I realize a deeper sense of gratitude.
My interest in Christian Science began about the time I learned to read fairly well. An older brother, a university man, did not see well enough to read, and I read Science and Health to him, expecting nothing but his satisfaction.
My gratitude to God for Christian Science has continued daily through a number of years. The healings recorded in my testimony in the Christian Science Sentinel of June 2, 1923, have been permanent.
It is my desire to testify to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. I have been a student of this Science for over eight years and have found that when it is correctly applied it never fails to give quick and lasting results.
For the wonderful benefits that have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science I desire to express my gratitude to God, whom I have proved to be ever-present Love; to Jesus, who gave us the way of life through expressing that Love; and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who by her humble, consecrated work discovered the truth about God and man in His image. Over thirty years ago I was healed of the fear of tuberculosis following pneumonia.
I herewith confirm the testimony of my wife. I myself have been healed of a long-drawn-out, painful skin trouble on my back, and I am very grateful for this healing.
Our Leader writes in the Preface to Science and Health ( p. vii ), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.
I am grateful to know that Christian Science can be demonstrated with just a slight understanding, when properly applied, and that as we attain a better understanding of God, we can prove that all things are possible to man as God's image and likeness. Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
