Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science was first introduced to my family thirty years ago, but I was not ready to accept it; and although I witnessed an instantaneous healing of a serious difficulty, I looked upon it as a faith cure and a fad. I was beginning a nursing career which filled my life for a considerable period, and in my eagerness for knowledge, I took up every branch of medical surgery.

I am happy to tell the world how Christian Science has lifted me out of the debris of error into the realm of health, peace, happiness, assurance, and protection. Several years ago I had reached the age at which many women believe they have to go through a great ordeal.

Five years of the World War left me a nervous, morose, and temperamental wreck. To alleviate these conditions I had resorted to materia medica and to every form of worldliness, but these gave no permanent relief.

For over twenty years Christian Science has been my only physician, and during that time I have had many physical healings, some of them instantaneous, while others extended over a considerable period. Among other healings I might mention those of colds, rheumatism, bronchitis, a serious inflammation of the ear, and chapped fingertips, the last causing trouble in winter.

To experience an instantaneous healing in Christian Science, when the one healed knows almost nothing about the operation of Truth in the human consciousness, is to go through an experience not only of great joy because of physical relief, but of sudden awakening to a realization of the presence of divine power, available at all times. About twenty years ago I was healed instantaneously.

Having had so many proofs of the power of applied Christian Science, I want to express my gratitude publicly for the privilege of being a follower of Mrs. Eddy.

I shall never forget the joy with which I first heard of Christian Science. For many years I had been sadly conscious of a hunger and thirst for an understanding of God and the Bible; so I grasped at this Science almost greedily, and exclaimed, "It is what we should always have had; I don't know how we ever lived without it.

I desire to submit a written testimony as an expression of my gratitude for the benefits received through Christian Science. My parents took up its study when I was such a small child that I do not remember any other religious training.

I am very grateful to God for Christian Science, and for all the healings and blessings that have come to me and mine. About two years ago I suffered from a nervous breakdown, and yellow jaundice.

Because of the great blessings which Christian Science has brought into our home and the gratitude I feel for the many healings each member of the family has received, I wish to give this testimony. I am the eldest of five girl and we have all had instructions in a Christian Science Sunday School.
