Testimonies of Healing

From infancy I had "suffered...

From the March 1927 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From infancy I had "suffered many things of many physicians"— medical, surgical, osteopathic, electric; and although they were so kind and did all they could, yet one difficulty would hardly be overcome when another would appear, until the climax was reached in the occurrence of an explosion. This experience brought about a mental condition one dislikes to recall. Several days after this occurrence my husband requested that I try Christian Science. I finally yielded to his request, and asked for absent treatment from a practitioner who was a stranger to us. Instantaneous help was experienced, and the study of Christian Science was earnestly begun.

All members of my family are now students of Christian Science and they have had many physical healings, of influenza, constipation, injured bone, burns, ptomaine poisoning. While I am grateful for these physical healings, I am still more grateful for the healing of sinful habits, for the spiritual light which has come to us, and for the knowledge that as we study the Bible and our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and the other writings of our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and endeavor to obey and apply the understanding thus obtained, we become more worthy of the name "Christian Scientist."

This is also written with the desire to help those who may seem to be slaves to profanity, for this habit had seemed to be the cause of several severe experiences in my family. If only they knew the heartache such a habit brings to the ones they love most and would injure least, they would change their cursing into blessing, and the habit would vanish into its native nothingness.
