Testimonies of Healing

For over eighteen years Christian Science has been overcoming inharmony in my life. It has raised me from hopeless suffering and despair to health and happiness; and for this, words fail to express my gratitude.

Words cannot express my gratitude for God's wondrous goodness to me. I have been a student of Christian Science for over twelve years, and the blessings and protection I have had in that time are a daily source of gratitude.

For some time I have had a desire to express my gratitude for the wonderful help I received physically and mentally from a two months' visit to The Christian Science Benevolent Association sanatorium at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, about five years ago. I was pronounced by a medical practitioner of Chicago as permanently disabled and incurable, with what he diagnosed as locomotor ataxia.

For what God has done for me through the teachings of Christian Science, I shall never be able to give enough thanks. Since the age of four I have attended the Christian Science Sunday School regularly, and now I know that nothing else has been so much worth while.

"Thoughts unspoken are not unknown to the divine Mind. Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds.

Christian Science came into my life many years ago, when I was greatly in need of comfort and health. Since that time I have witnessed many proofs of God's care for His children.

In gratitude for the many blessings received in Christian Science I give this testimony, hoping others may experience joy, peace, and love such as have come to me, and be benefited as I have been. I was told about Christian Science, and read some of the literature because I was sick mentally and physically, unhappy, discouraged, longing to be through with life's struggles.

About sixteen years ago I was in a deplorable condition mentally and physically. The fact that I am now strong and healthy I attribute solely to Christian Science.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude for all the blessings I have experienced through the study of Christian Science. I was healed of sick headaches with which I had been troubled for many years.

I learned of Christian Science about eighteen years ago through dear friends, and after I had studied the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, thoroughly, I gradually learned to recognize that all error obtains first of all in mortal mind, and is then manifested on the body. I also learned that as soon as we are able to silence error with right thinking, and to replace it with good thoughts, error, or evil, is no longer there, and we are healed.
