Testimonies of Healing

In heartfelt gratitude to God for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life, I give this testimony. In 1914 I underwent an operation for cancer, and a year later was preparing for another operation for the some disease when I was led to try Christian Science treatment.

On first hearing of Christian Science, how many people ridicule this wonderful religion, as I did! But on gaining an understanding of God as Father-Mother, as explained in the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, how grateful we become! The problem of unemployment was overcome through treatment and the study of the statement in "Miscellaneous Writings" by Mrs.

I am a living witness to the healing power of Christian Science. One evening during the first week in July, 1930, I became dangerously ill.

It is with deep gratitude that I write this testimony, for Christian Science has been very helpful to me. I began the study for a physical healing, but have since applied this Science to all other problems, and find it a never-failing aid.

It is my desire to add my thanksgiving to the many voices continually singing praises to God for Christian Science. Like many others it seemed to me that only so-called large accomplishments were worthy of being told as demonstrations; and yet, looking over the many experiences encountered, I realize that my existence would be a poor one did it still include all the pains, fears, limitations, and sinful traits that it formerly did.

I have great cause to be grateful for Christian Science. Twice in my experience has it outstandingly shown me that life cannot be destroyed.

I am thankful indeed for the privilege of telling what Christian Science has done for me during the last thirty years, and also for what it has done for my family. I did not come into Science for healing, but to satisfy myself as to whether or not it was the true religion, as I had read and studied enough about different religions to know that there could be but one true standard of Christianity.

Difficulties of a professional nature, which confronted me as head engineer on the projected trial run of a ship, brought forcibly to my consciousness the great importance of a statement in the Lesson-Sermon for that week in the Christian Science Quarterly : "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. " Since then this passage from the New Testament has been of especial importance to me.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science. Fifteen years ago I was unable to eat or even to get out of bed.

If I could ever record all I have received from the study and application of Christian Science I should indeed be grateful. It came to me many years ago when I had no religion whatsoever.
