Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science came into my life when I was a young child through the healing of my mother some forty years ago. For many years she had spent much time in bed because of chronic bilious attacks.

Having received a great sense of assurance and peace from reading the many testimonies in our literature, I desire to express my deep gratitude for the many healings I have received and am receiving through the study and application of Christian Science. In 1930, having doctored with many physicians, and having followed a very strict diet, I had a stroke of paralysis, which affected my whole right side.

Ever since my twentieth year I had suffered from heart trouble and had been under medical treatment. Then, when the war broke out and we had to give up everything in order to go from Russia to my husband's home in Germany, my suffering grew considerably worse.

Among the many helpful statements to be found in the writings of Mrs. Eddy, the following sentence on pages 149 and 150 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" always brings me a great deal of comfort and inspiration: "Remember, thou canst be brought into no condition, be it ever so severe, where Love has not been before thee and where its tender lesson is not awaiting thee.

Humbly I give thanks to God for Christian Science and to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for having discovered the Science whereby Christ Jesus healed when he was on earth.

Some time ago I experienced a beautiful healing of internal and spinal injuries occasioned by a serious fall. The pain was so intense that it seemed wise and necessary to call a Christian Science practitioner, who has often lovingly given help to our family when we have been in need.

When Christian Science was presented to me seventeen years ago, I was a very weak and sickly woman, with an internal displacement which caused me great physical pain and distress. I also suffered from constipation and indigestion.

This testimony is given with the earnest desire to help someone who is seeking for that truth which liberates from all earthly bondage. I was brought up in an orthodox church and was taught that heaven was a place far away which I could reach only after going through the experience of death.

I should like to thank our heavenly Father with my whole heart for the wonderful healing of our dear child. A few years ago our little girl, who had always been a lively and happy child, became ill with severe symptoms of disease, which kept appearing in different forms.

Upon looking back over the many years I have been in Christian Science, I can see the unfolding to me of peace, harmony, and a sense of divine protection. I have been blessed with many healings, and I can truthfully say that all that I am and all that I have, is due to Christian Science.
