Testimonies of Healing

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.

It would take many pages to relate the wonderful demonstrations that have been made in my family through the understanding of Christian Science. I should like to recount a few that remain uppermost in my thought.

Christian Science came to me at a time when there seemed to be no happiness or any reason for hope left in the world for me. I was in great sorrow, having been told by a number of physicians that my elder child, a girl eleven years of age, could not live, and that medical science had done all that could be done for her.

In the fall of 1924 divine Love led me to Christian Science. I had been suffering for about fourteen years from articular rheumatism and debility.

For over twenty-eight years I have been a student of Christian Science, and have always enjoyed reading the testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel, not only as a record of the good work going on throughout the world, but also as a help in my own growth, as I have at times found a thought there that just met my need. But I have realized that I cannot go on receiving good without also giving out good that it may be beneficial to someone else.

" Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. " Fifteen years ago, when weary in mind, weak and sick in body, dissatisfied with religion as I then understood it, disillusioned, and utterly tired of material existence, I began my acquaintance with God through the teaching of Christian Science.
