Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude to Christian Science for the healing of an injured hand, as well as for the many other healings which I have experienced in the past twelve years. My entire right hand was crushed in a job printing press, the type on the form which was being printed cutting about a quarter of an inch into the flesh.

It is a privilege to testify to the efficacy of Christian Science. I have had numerous proofs of its power to bless.

It is with a great sense of gratitude that I wish to give my testimony of blessings I have received in Christian Science. It was through the healing of a son that I first took up the reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Mere words cannot express my gratitude for Christian Science, which was brought to me by a loving practitioner almost seven years ago. I knew very little about this Science and was eager to have it explained.

I First learned of Christian Science through my mother-in-law, who took me to a lecture which aroused in me a great desire to know more of God and of His laws. From this time I took up the study of the Bible and of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Nearly sixteen years ago a neighbor made the statement that through Christian Science she had been relieved of the fear of taking cold when she realized that if God is everywhere there is no place for harmful winds. That way of acknowledging only one God was so reasonable to me that I wanted to know more of the teachings of this religion, and eagerly read copies of the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Monitor.

Many years ago I came into Christian Science seeking peace. The teachings of my former church, that God sends sickness and death as well as the blessings of life, had been instilled into me from childhood but gave me little concern, since ours was a happy home with no serious illnesses.

Christian Science has met my every need since I started attending the infant class in the Christian Science Sunday School. Our family came into this wonderful religion through the healing of my brother of an abscessed ear which physicians said could not be cured.

My first healing in Christian Science, occurring sixteen years ago, was that of organic disturbance, said to be incurable by the physicians and surgeons who treated me. An operation had been performed with the expectation of healing, but only a very short period of relief was experienced.

On January 18, 1928, I went into Winnipeg to consult a surgeon in regard to what physicians had pronounced a cancerous growth, from which I had been suffering intense pain. I had previously had an operation for this trouble, at that time one breast being removed.
