Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has helped me so many times and in so many ways that I am sure that without it I could never have come through as I have. I first started the study of this Science nineteen years ago, when I was traveling with a theatrical company.

The healing power of Christian Science has been so clearly apparent in my experience that I should like to record an expression of profound gratitude for what I firmly believe to be this great spiritual teaching. Although I have known of Christian Science all my life, and time and again have enjoyed its multitudinous blessings in the way of protection and instantaneous healings, it was not until twelve years ago that I felt the effect of its redemptive and saving power sufficiently to realize fully the meaning of these inspiring, yet commanding words of Paul in his second epistle to the Corinthians: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

To listen to someone while he audibly voices the truth is often the means of healing, for confidence and assurance are inspired thereby. One Sunday afternoon a lecture on Christian Science was given in a public auditorium.

I was confined to my bed for nearly twenty years with what the physicians called female trouble in its severest form. Some days I was not able to sit up.

"And o'er earth's troubled, angry sea I see Christ walk, And come to me, and tenderly, Divinely talk. " The spirit of these comforting words from the poem "Christ My Refuge" (Poems, p.

It is hard to find words to express my gratitude for the help I have had in overcoming fear in many forms and worry, which seemed to be a part of me; also for the help it has been in rearing a little son. He is now eight years old and has never used material remedies.

Many blessings have come into our home through Christian Science, and I gladly avail myself of the privilege offered us to express our gratitude through the periodicals. Some of the healings for which we are grateful are of broken bones occasioned while playing football, diabetes, heart trouble, eye discomfort, rupture, running sore of many years' standing, stomach disorder, and spinal complication; also our children's teeth have been straightened.

I want to express my gratitude for the many blessings I have had since taking up the study of Christian Science. Though I have had many difficulties to overcome, I have always had the encouragement and help of loving friends and practitioners in solving these problems, whenever my own understanding seemed insufficient to meet the demand.

Inspired by gratitude for healings experienced and for many demonstrations of the provable knowledge of God and of man's relationship to Him, I submit this testimony. Christian Science is the most wonderful thing that ever came into my life and was presented to me by my wife at a time when I was oppressed by a sense of failure.

I was reared in the teachings of Protestantism, but in later years I drifted away from all religion. There remained, however, that desire, which I believe is more or less inherent in all people, to find that which really provides satisfaction and peace.
