Mrs. Eddy knew, through her own experience, the healing power of prayer as understood and applied by Christ Jesus and as demonstrated in Christian Science. She also recognized the need for expressing gratitude. Thus she provided opportunities for her followers to express gratitude by giving testimonies of healing at the Wednesday testimony meetings in branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, and also by sharing similar testimonies through the Christian Science periodicals.

I have experienced countless proofs of the healing and saving power of prayer through Christian Science. Before I began to study Christian Science I was told by a reputable surgeon that the only remedy for periodic painful suffering would be an operation to correct a fallen uterus; but because of what I was learning in Christian Science, I rejected this medical verdict and took a firm spiritual stand for Truth. I decided against the removal of the organ and instead removed from my thought any faith in aught but God, the only physician.

At this time the thought of God's law as the only real law—the law which upholds His entire creation—so inspired me that I found myself relying on it completely for support.
