"'Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's' (St. Paul). Testimony in regard to the healing of the sick is highly important. More than a mere rehearsal of blessings, it scales the pinnacle of praise and illustrates the demonstration of Christ, 'who healeth all thy diseases' (Psalm 103:3)" (Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy, Art. VIII, Sect. 24).

Space does not permit me to tell of all the many healings I have had in Christian Science. It is with much joy that I share the following. Some years ago I visited an experienced student of Christian Science once a week. She read many interesting and healing articles to me from the Christian Science literature. I found that these visits, together with my own study, brought about steady growth in my understanding of Christian Science.

Whilst sharing these lovely truths with my friend, I was healed of a serious malady of the jawbone. This condition had persisted for several years, and in spite of much dental treatment and minor surgery on the jawbone, I suffered much pain and distress. One day as I was preparing to visit my friend, my husband remarked that my face was badly swollen, and he added, "Surely you can't go like that! Whatever will your friend say?" I replied, "She won't even notice." And she did not, for on my way to her home I was conscious of God's great love for His child. I also knew that the truths I was going to learn would eventually heal me. Those truths did not "eventually" heal me. I was wonderfully and permanently healed, then and there, before I reached her home.
