Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has changed my whole life. I owe everything to it.

When a child, I was with my parents at a mineral water resort, where we had gone to seek health for my mother and myself. One day while I was out under a tree, looking up at the beautiful mountains and thinking about God, this thought came to me.

Christian Science came into my life with its regenerating and healing power when I most needed it. Though I possessed a copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I merely glanced through it and left it in the bookcase while I lived in Victoria, British Columbia, for seven years.

I desire to give thanks for many benefits received through Christian Science. Twenty-eight years ago this religion was first presented to me, but I rejected it because it was the work of a woman.

At one time my husband and I were traveling by automobile and had occasion to cross a river at a point where there was no bridge, and an old-fashioned ferry furnished the only means of transportation. It was past the hour for the regular ferryman to be on duty, and a friend of ours, experienced in the handling of the ferry, offered to help us.

I have been freed from pain and sickness. I shall never forget the first treatment I had in Christian Science, for I was instantly healed of weak eyes and constipation.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. As a child I longed to have lived in Jesus' time, so as to have been near him and to have gone to him for healing.

With a sincere desire to help some earnest seeker for Truth, I should like to tell of some of the innumerable blessings that my family and I have experienced through Christian Science. Nearly seven years ago my father, while standing in the front yard talking with a neighbor, was struck by a stray bullet which came from across the street.

I want to give this testimony of what Christian Science has done for me, that it may help a weary traveler in the desert of false belief. I have come safely through that which is sometimes called nervous breakdown or insanity.

While reading the testimonies in a Christian Science Sentinel I had a deep desire to tell how grateful I am, and how much Christian Science has done for me. As I thought about what healing I would relate, the realization came to me that I had never been seriously ill in my life; and I thanked God for the great protection that Christian Science had been to me.
