Testimonies of Healing

"Let him that is athirst come

From the April 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. 22:17). Sometimes when I have been working out a problem through Christian Science, I have found a testimony in one of the periodicals that has helped me in my line of thought. In appreciation of this help and with a heart full of gratitude, I submit this testimony.

Before becoming interested in Christian Science I was a registered medical nurse and had been a member of an orthodox church for many years. But I had never believed that God sent illness or discordant conditions of any kind to anyone. Whenever I heard a person remark on someone's illness or misfortune and say, "It's God's will," I did not believe it. However, I never knew just why I did not.

One day I was asked to read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. After I had read from it a few times, I began to see that I had been right in not believing that God sends misfortune. I obtained a copy of Science and Health, and later I began the daily reading of the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly. Soon I started attending the Christian Science church services and placed my young son in the Sunday School.
