Testimonies of Healing

For more than a score of years Christian Science has met every need that has arisen in my experience. Many instantaneous healings have come through the loving help of practitioners and through my own realization of God's allness in the light of our Leader's teaching.

About nine years ago Christian Science first came to my notice, finding me in a most unhappy condition mentally and physically. For three years I had been constantly under the care of doctors and had taken much medicine.

When I ponder "the deep things of God" and realize the great significance of His watchful care and the tender lessons of divine unfoldment in consciousness during many a one's passage Spiritward, I am inspired with solemn wonder. On a certain Sunday in my childhood I heard read in an orthodox Sunday school a passage from the Bible, telling of Jesus' raising of Lazarus from the dead.

Truly , "the heart grows rich in giving. " With an overflowing heart filled with gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and mine, I am sincerely grateful, and wish to give my testimony so that it may be of help to others.

For more than half of my life I have been a student of Christian Science. There has never been a time that a problem has not been solved when this Science has been correctly applied.

When Christian Science found me I was at what seemed the end of this mortal existence, a wreck physically and mentally. One morning when I awoke and turned in bed everything went black and I seemed to slide into a dark hole.

As one advances in the study and application of the truth as gained through the teachings of Christian Science, given by Mary Baker Eddy in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," one continues to find a deep and ever increasing measure of gratitude to God, the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Over thirty years ago Christian Science was introduced to us through the healing experienced by a member of our immediate family, after physicians had stated the case to be hopeless.

For all the good that has come to me and my family through Christian Science I should like to express my gratitude. I learned of Christian Science when our daughter, then an infant six weeks old, became ill with violent whooping cough and was so worn out by the disease that we doubted her recovery.

Christian Science came to my attention fourteen years ago, when we were living in the South and stopping in a home where there were several Christian Scientists. My husband became interested, and started reading the Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly with one of them.

When Christian Science first came into my experience, I was most miserable. Through misunderstanding, willfulness, selfishness, and stubbornness I had been separated from family and home.
