Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science has brought many blessings into my experience, and for each one I am deeply grateful to God, to Christ Jesus, and to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. One healing stands out foremost to me.
For many years I was very much prejudiced against Christian Science, seizing eagerly on any adverse criticism of the subject and of Mrs. Eddy.
My mother began to study Christian Science when I was a young child, and I remember many benefits early received. Not until I was in college, however, did I take up the study in earnest.
I wish to write for our beloved periodicals an expression of my gratitude for Christian Science. My mother was a Scientist before I was born, and received healings, as did my elder brother.
I want most humbly to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and for all mankind, and to tell of a recent healing. I had an abscess in the colon, and recognized the condition as one that had been present many years before.
At an age as early as seven or eight years, I became conscious that a wrong condition existed in my body, as I felt heavy and tired much of the time. I had had a serious illness.
It was with the greatest joy that I turned to Christian Science when it was presented to me many years ago. I had searched and read, and longed for something that would solve the mysteries of this mortal life and give me something solid to build on.
From a grateful heart I should like to relate the wonderful healing of my son. In the large plant in which he works as a machinist he met with a very serious accident.
Christian Science was brought to my attention through a friend's healing of stomach trouble of long standing. About this time one of my children had a growth on the tongue.
Having found a new life through my study of Christian Science, I am glad to testify to the peace, joy, and uplifted consciousness that come through a better understanding of God. I realize now that before I began the study of Christian Science I did not know God.
