THE HEALING MISSION OF TESTIMONIES

MILTON ELLSWORTH SMOYER

Testimonies in churches of Christ, Scientist, bear witness to the truth that Christian Science is the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. These testimonies supply actual proof that Christian Science meets every human need.

After becoming interested in this Science the writer commenced to attend Sunday services. One Sunday someone approached him and said that he had seen him at church every Sunday, but had never seen him at the Wednesday testimony meetings.

"Oh," the writer replied, "I am thoroughly convinced that Christian Science heals. I don't need any testimonies to strengthen my faith." The friend then explained that even the most advanced students of Christian Science derive much good from attending the testimony meetings. This explanation encouraged the writer to become a faithful attendant at these meetings. He found that the testifiers not only told of solving many different problems through the use of Christian Science, but also often explained the line of reasoning used in applying the truth to their problems. These testimonies helped the writer to get a working knowledge of Christian Science and showed him how to apply this knowledge to his own problems.
