Testimonies of Healing

I desire to express my gratitude to God for the blessings I have received in Christian Science. My first healing, which was of influenza, took place in 1918.

When I first heard of Christian Science, about twenty years ago, I attended some of the Wednesday evening meetings, read the textbook with avidity, and even experienced a case of personal healing. I had suffered some time from severe neuritis and was completely cured by a single treatment from a practitioner.

Christian Science came into my life some ten years ago. Since then it has been a very precious companion, guide, and protector.

There came a time in my life when through domestic inharmony, financial trouble, and overstrain from work my health was impaired to the extent that what was termed the "screeching stage" of nervous prostration followed. At this time an old edition of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was in my home, having been lent to my husband by one of his friends.

Since I became interested in Christian Science about six years ago, I have had many proofs of God's healing power through the application of this demonstrable truth, and I gratefully bear witness to the many blessing it has brought into my life. During a time of great anxiety, which continued over a period of many months, I developed an acute colon disorder, which later became chronic.

Over twenty years ago I walked into a Christian Science Reading Room and bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which had been recommended to me as a worth-while book to read. The pleasant-faced woman who sold me the book was the first Christian Scientist I had ever seen, as the friend who told me about the book did not then claim to be a Scientist.

" O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things. " How greatly we can rejoice that these wonderful words contain the same truth today as at the time they were sung by the Psalmist! And we cannot be grateful enough to the dear Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, for giving anew to mankind this seemingly lost good which our Master, Christ Jesus, also taught and proved.

In gratitude to our Father-Mother, God, and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for the blessings received through the application of the truth as revealed in Christian Science, I submit this testimony. I did not become interested in Christian Science through a desire for physical healing.

Christian Science has brought untold blessings into my experience in the years since I first began the study of this all-satisfying truth. One healing in particular which has brought me immeasurable freedom took place in the first year or so.
