Testimonies of Healing

My gratitude is very great for Christian Science and for the fact that our four children are learning to use this Science and have confidence in its reliability. We have had many healings, but one has stood out particularly to us all.

I wish to express the deepest gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and mine during the past twenty years. I did not turn to Christian Science for healing but because I believed it to be the absolute truth; none the less, all my physical needs have been met from that time onward, and it has been my greatest help in bringing up a family of four children.

When my granddaughter was born the attendants were shocked to see that there was a sack of fluid near the lower part of the backbone; and I was told that one joint of the bone was telescoped up into another, that in all probability she would not live; but that if she did she would be paralyzed from the waist and would never walk. We had been students of Christian Science for several years and a practitioner was already working for the mother, so work was begun at once for the baby.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I send this testimony. Someone has written, "The darkest hour precedes the dawn.

Christian Science has indeed proved to be a blessing to us, and I want to express my gratitude for our understanding of God, and for His loving care. A few years ago we lost our parents; and as there were four girls in our family, all minors, and there were no relatives who could aid us, a great problem confronted us.

I want to tell of some of the blessings that have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science as revealed by our revered Leader. Through this teaching I am learning that "God's promises are kept.

The study of Christian Science has been and is a constant source of inspiration and joy to me. I did not come into Science primarily for physical healing, although since I began this study I have experienced several physical healings, of colds, toothache, headaches, sprains, and the need of wearing glasses.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for what it has done for me and mine. About three years ago a neighbor gave me some Christian Science Sentinels and Journals to read.

It is over twenty-two years since I first turned to Christian Science for aid and was instantaneously healed of a severe form of stomach trouble which had been with me for many years, and had on two occasions forced me out of business positions. Some eighteen months before turning to Christian Science I had been compelled to resign from a position on the staff of a bank in western Canada, and I learned later that many of the townspeople considered that I was dying.

For more than twenty-four years I have been enjoying the benefits of Christian Science and have had so many healings that it would be impossible to tell of them all, but a few are so outstanding that I want to take advantage of this channel to tell them to the whole world in the hope that someone else will be helped as I have been. As a child and a young girl I was considered very delicate and peculiarly susceptible to disease.
