Testimony of Healing July 12, 1952 Issue

My first healing in Christian Science ...

Nancy Clay

My first healing in Christian Science occurred over twenty-four years ago. At that time I had been bedfast for over a year and was under a doctor's care. He said that there was no hope for me unless I had an operation. A neighbor asked me if I had ever read the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and when I replied that I had not, she lent me the book, which I studied day and night. I really did not do so to be healed, but inasmuch as the doctor had said I could not live, and I did not have any religion, I thought I should prepare myself to be saved. I found Christian Science to be not only a religion of salvation, but one that heals, as well as meets every human need. I started to attend a Church of Christ, Scientist, and have been going regularly ever since. "The scientific statement of being," found on page 468 of Science and Health, was the first thing I learned to understand. Through my reading the textbook I was completely healed. From that time I have never used any material remedies whatever.

I have had many healings, including those of injuries sustained in falls and a badly cut finger. Lost articles have been recovered and business problems solved. All these were accomplished through my own study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings.

For these healings and many others I have experienced, I am indeed grateful, but for the spiritual growth and peace that are mine through my study of Christian Science, I am more grateful to God every day. For Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, for our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for membership in a branch church and The Mother Church, and for class instruction, I am also grateful. I could not close this testimony without expressing my gratitude for the one who first interested me in Christian Science.—(Mrs.) Nancy Clay, Kansas City, Missouri.
