Testimony of Healing June 15, 1957 Issue

Writing my testimony is a joy...

Elsie Babcock Pearce with contributions from Reginald F. Pearce

Writing my testimony is a joy and a privilege. Christian Science has helped me and upheld me all my life, and I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy for its discovery.

I have had many healings through Christian Science. An instantaneous healing of intestinal grippe, which had recurred for some time, impressed me deeply when I was a young girl. My grandmother, who was a Christian Science practitioner, declared the truth of my being as a child of God, and the intense pain stopped, just as though a water tap had been turned off, and I have never had a recurrence of this difficulty.

The most outstanding proof of God's guidance and healing in my experience took place at the birth of our younger son a few years ago. In the months before the little boy was born I had done much traveling in the Pacific area and was harmoniously led at every step by trusting in God. The words from Isaiah (40: 11), "He ... shall gently lead those that are with young," were always with me. Not long before the birth, my husband and I were led to a lovely home, which we chose for its peaceful atmosphere. Later we found that our landlady, who occupied the back apartment, was a very active Christian Scientist; so we were surrounded by much love and right thinking.
