Testimony of Healing January 29, 1955 Issue

I write this testimony in the hope...

Marguerite Burson

I write this testimony in the hope that it will help someone who may be discouraged by a slow healing or a relapse. About twenty-five years ago I was healed of tuberculosis in its last stages. I had been under the care of doctors for two and a half years and had finally arrived at the point where I was about to pass on. I was moved by stretcher from a tuberculosis sanatorium in my home city to a sanatorium in southern California. The doctors there indicated to my husband that there was nothing further that could be done.

At this point, at the urging of a loved one, I consented to have Christian Science treatment. I did not think it could help me, but in my dire extremity I was willing to give it a trial. A consecrated practitioner was called and treatment was begun.

To my surprise, I began to improve at once, and in a very few months I found myself entirely free, whereupon I returned home full of joy at my healing. In fact, my elation was such that it was hard for me to grasp the import of the truths of Christian Science. I was only interested in the fact of my healing, not in the modus operandi. So it is not surprising to me now that I suffered a relapse. In bitterness and despair, thinking that Christian Science had failed me, I gave it up and returned to the sanatorium in California.
