Testimonies of Healing

The healing power of Christian Science has freed me from many physical and financial difficulties and countless other discordant conditions. During many years I have received spiritual enlightenment, comfort in sorrow, peace, and happiness.

I should like to add a word of gratitude to the above testimony for all that Christian Science has meant to us. It has been our only physician for a number of years and has met our every need when properly applied.

In payment of our debt of gratitude to Christian Science, I offer this testimony, hoping it may help others as I have been helped through the testimonies in our periodicals. Shortly after we took up the study of this Science our little son seemed to be suffering from earache.

Because the religion of Christ Jesus and his disciples has again become a living reality through the healing, purifying influence of Christian Science, I am deeply grateful. I have experienced the healing of many discordant conditions, some of which have been overcome instantly, while others have yielded more slowly.

I should like to give thanks for a healing which took place a number of years ago. In July, 1922, I was suddenly seized in the night with violent pains.

Before taking up the study of Christian Science, I was in bondage in many ways to material sense, having had the drinking habit for about forty years. This habit was so firmly established that I believed I could not get along without drinking.

I want to express my gratitude for progress during the ten years I have studied Christian Science, also for six years of Sunday school, which I have enjoyed immensely. I have had many difficulties to overcome.

This testimony is being sent in an effort to express some small measure of the deep gratitude I feel to God for the gift to us all of Christian Science. For many years this truth has been my comforter, my help, my companion, and when earnestly and honestly applied it has never failed me.

If any parents are disappointed because their children do not appear to be interested in the teachings of Christian Science, I hope they will see this testimony and take heart. I was sent to the Christian Science Sunday School at the age of two years and a half, but I did not seem receptive to the truth.

In the winter of 1932-1933 I was one of the many who felt hopeless because of lost savings and lost employment. It was the blackest panic I had ever seen.
