Testimonies of Healing
In my early twenties, when I seemed a helpless victim to the dictates of the physical senses, Christian Science came to my aid and restored me to health, giving me a wonderful sense of freedom and a sound mind. For the latter I am deeply grateful.
I wish to express deep gratitude for the many healings Christian Science has brought to me and to members of my family. I am especially grateful for the healing of my granddaughter of infantile paralysis when she was five years old.
I should like to express my great gratitude for Christian Science, and for its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, whose consecrated study of the Bible enabled her to give to a waiting world a religion that heals all diseases. In 1923 I commenced the study of Christian Science, and in a little while was healed of double rupture of sixteen years' standing, of varicose veins, and of fallen arches.
In gratitude to God and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I give my testimony with the hope that it may benefit another. For many years I had a dread of extreme weather conditions, such as high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.
When a young girl, I was allowed to go to any church or Sunday school I cared to. Usually I attended where my friends went, and I visited quite a number before I started going to the Christian Science services.
Since I accepted Christian Science as true Christianity several years ago, it has been to me a school of advanced education in spiritual, intellectual, and therapeutic knowledge. In so far as I have abided by its laws I have been healed of sin, disease, and a mania for dissecting creeds, ever seeking religion as taught by Christ Jesus.
The testimonies of healing in the Christian Science periodicals have always been a great help to me. Sometimes it has been because a testimony described a healing similar to one for which I was working at the time; at other times, the description of the perseverance and faith that resulted in a healing has encouraged me to make greater efforts.
Christian Science was brought to us by a friend of one of my sisters, a friend whom we all cherished and loved. She had been healed through Christian Science.
Love was one of the first synonyms of God which I felt I understood. Several years ago I passed through what seemed to be a very bitter experience.
Words fail to express the love and gratitude that I feel in my heart for Christian Science. All I have and all I am I owe to God and Christian Science, which has healed me of many things—sensitiveness, sorrow, lack, and many other illusions.
