Testimonies of Healing

About twenty years ago I first saw a copy of the Sentinel. After reading one half of the first column, I declared that it was the truth and just what I had been wanting.

Many years of living in thought with sin, sickness, and death, all of which had deeply impressed themselves upon me as being real, brought about many discordant conditions of the body. Daily I had a sincere desire to be lifted out of this seeming pit in order that I might know life aright and enjoy happiness, and it was proved to me that right desire is prayer and is answered.

With deep gratitude and the desire to help others, I should like to relate some of the blessings and healings which I have both received and witnessed since taking up the study of Christian Science. I was healed of an inward goiter through the work of a practitioner, after doctors and specialists had failed to help me and had given me only a few weeks to live.

In April, 1930, a friend introduced me to Christian Science. I immediately bought and read the textbook and attended a lecture and a church service.

The understanding requisite to prove Christian Science came to me without any effort to attain material benefit. In fact, when I earnestly began to study the Bible, in conjunction with Science and Health, I was ignorant of the fact that Truth understood must change the outward seeming.

Great gratitude prompts me to testify to the good which has come to me through Christian Science. I have found that this teaching is the guide to God, and I have come to understand the Bible passage, "Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Christian Science first came to my attention about twenty years ago through the healing of a man who had been one of the leading business men of the city in which I was residing at that time, but who, on account of the drink habit, had long since ceased to give any attention to his business, his family, or his friends. When I first saw him he was tottering on the brink of ruin.

For the many blessings that Christian Science has brought to me and to my home I wish to express my sincere gratitude. Under all circumstances this truth has met our needs when rightly applied.

I desire to express gratitude for a beautiful healing which took place some years ago. I was working on the roof of a house about seventeen miles from the city.

I am very grateful for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. I did not come into this Science for healing, but when I had read the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
