Testimonies of Healing

IT is with a heart full of gratitude that I wish to acknowledge what Christian Science has done for me and mine. It was brought to my attention for the first time by a friend who had been leaving literature for my mother, who had been suffering from asthma for many years.

IT seems at times that no one has more reason than I for deep thankfulness for Christian Science, which found me when life seemed useless and all efforts futile. I was standing, as it were, on the curbstone of life, watching the world's hurrying and scurrying for a purpose it could not itself logically define.

IN grateful acknowledgment of what Christian Science has done for me in the past years and is still doing, I give this testimony. I took up the study of Christian Science for a condition which had been diagnosed as nervousness, causing severe stomach trouble and extreme melancholia.

MY mother and I became interested in Christian Science over fourteen years ago. She had been physically weak since the time of my birth and suddenly became paralyzed from her hips down.

MY coming into Christian Science was not for physical healing, but to gain a better understanding of God. My first attendance at a Christian Science service proved to me that I had found the truth, and in a short period proof of its healing power came to me.

TWELVE years ago I began seriously the study of Christian Science, not for the healing of any particular ailment, but more in the search for a haven into which might be guided a wayward and rudderless ship, such as I felt myself to be. During these twelve years, however, I have had many proofs of the healing power and protective care of our loving Father-Mother God, as revealed to us by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE has afforded me protection all my life. I am very grateful for having had the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School until I reached the age limit, and since that time for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church.

FOR the complete change that Christian Science has wrought in my life I wish to express heartfelt gratitude. Six years ago I was in an extremity of mental depression, physical ill-health, and financial difficulties.

MY first experience in Christian Science was the healing of indigestion, of an abnormal condition of the bowels, and of extreme nervousness. I continued the study of Christian Science and have received many beautiful healings.

ALTHOUGH I was brought up to attend church and read the Bible, I refused to have anything to do with Christian Science when it was first presented to me. I could not, however, forget what I had heard, and I soon began to lose interest in my religion; my ideas of God became confused and I was utterly miserable.
