Testimonies of Healing

In 1913 I first became interested in Christian Science and bought "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and started to read it. Every moment that I could spare from my home duties I spent with the Bible and Science and Health.

I should like to tell how I was healed through Christian Science, and how the ever present love of our Father-Mother God was made apparent and the absolute nothingness of matter proved to me. I had been interested in Christian Science a number of years and had been a seeker for Truth.

Many years ago when a friend of mine who was a Christian Scientist told me I could be healed, I thought it was impossible because many physicians had said I could not live. In one Christian Science treatment I was healed of four so-called incurable diseases—adhesion, stomach trouble, heart disease, and defective eyesight.

As I have been so wonderfully helped by reading the testimonies in The Christian Science Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel, I feel that it is my duty and privilege to tell of some of the healings which have taken place in my family through the application of the truth as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I had my first healing about fifteen years ago.

Christian Science was brought to my attention in 1912. After reading a borrowed copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for about a month I was convinced that Christian Science was the only religion to which I could subscribe completely.

Twenty-five years ago a friend placed a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy in my hands with the hope that it would help a dear one in my family. After reading for a short while I realized that every word I was reading was the truth, and I could scarcely put the book down until I had read it through.

I have read with gratitude the published testimonies of others in our Christian Science literature. It has occurred to me, since the way has not yet opened for my attending Wednesday evening meetings and therein expressing my gratitude, that I too should make use of the Journal and no longer delay the giving.

I am filled with gratitude for the healing power of Christian Science, which is always available when correctly applied. For many years it has been my only physician for physical ills, for the solving of all problems of human experience, and also for the healing of grief.

I had been interested in the study of Christian Science for some time, but had not been able to overcome gallstones. I had many attacks, each one worse than the other.

It is with a feeling of the deepest and most sincere gratitude that I wish to tell of an experience I had a year or two ago, which once more proved God's omniscience, omnipresence, and continuity. It was my privilege, while visiting at a cousin's home in the West, to read the Lesson-Sermons given in the Christian Science Quarterly, at her request, to my baby cousin, who attends the Christian Science Sunday School.
