Testimonies of Healing

It is two years and a half since Christian Science was...

From the October 1907 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is two years and a half since Christian Science was first mentioned to me. Up to that time I did not know what it was to feel really well. Nervous headaches had given trouble from childhood, then other ailments followed. Nothing seemed to do me any good, and with the constant feeling of increasing weakness I began to fear and experience some of the symptoms of lung trouble, from which two members of the family had already died. It was just at this time, while dreading the approaching winter, that I heard of Christian Science from a friend. During the short conversation something was said that made me think this might be the truth I had always longed for, never having been satisfied with the orthodox interpretation of the teachings of Christ Jesus. I shall never forget the glorious revelation and spiritual uplifting that came to me as soon as I commenced to read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The realization that God is infinite Love, Life, — the source of all strength,—and that suffering could not be sent by Him, made so clear its unreality and impotence that all the old beliefs of ill health just seemed to fall from me, and I was quite well.

Since then I have had many proofs of the ever-presence of divine Love. Words can never express my heartfelt gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy for this beautiful truth. I can only show it by trying to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, as our text-book shows us how to do. —
