Testimonies of Healing
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.
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.
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.
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.
For thirty years I have been a student of Christian Science. It has been a great help in rearing three daughters, who are now grown and are members of a branch church.
I should like to express sincere thanksgiving for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science, and for those which all its students are receiving daily. My first healing came from reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
