Testimonies of Healing

About seven years ago, while on a motor trip hundreds of miles from home, we stopped at a public playground in a large city and our little girl, then not quite two years old, walked into the path of a heavy swing which had just been released by a young man who had jumped from it in mid-air. The board was several inches thick, bound all around with iron, and the corner of it hit the child just over the eye.

I did not take up Christian Science for healing, but to get a more satisfactory understanding of God. I had been taught from childhood that God is a God of love; but when one very dear to me had been a sufferer for many years, although she had been a loving and helpful mother, and could get little relief, a thought of doubt would come into my mind: Could God, a God of love, allow such inharmony to come to His child? I laid aside my Bible, thinking it was not a book for the present; but as my mother wished me to read it to her I would often remark, "I will read it to you, but it means nothing to me.

Christian Science found me an invalid, and quickly healed me of a severe nervous breakdown, following an operation. Since that time, through the loving help of a Christian Science practitioner and the continued study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

Christian Science came to me on the battlefields during the late war through the aid of a Christian Science chaplain. He was with me on the front lines and we had many experiences together.

It is recorded in the Bible that after each miracle Jesus performed the people glorified God; and so this testimony is given to the glory of God and with my grateful thanks to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, who has explained the teachings of Jesus the Christ so plainly and satisfactorily in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," that I was able to accept Christian Science and become a Christian. I was born a Jewess.

The availability of God's law as revealed in Christian Science has been proved to me in many instances of protection, provision, peace, guidance, health, and happiness. From childhood the Bible had been a constant source of interest to me.

I first became interested in Christian Science through the healing of a very severe cold. I had always been subject to these colds and, since my father was a druggist, every known material remedy had been tried.

In gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me in the past sixteen years I submit this testimony. At the time I took up the study of Christian Science I had been given only a short time to live by a physician who had exhausted his skill in trying to relieve a stomach trouble from which I had been suffering for several years.
