Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science was first brought to my notice about three years ago. It found me a confirmed invalid, having been under the doctor's care more or less for twenty years.

My gratitude for Christian Science and to our Leader, Mary Baker G. Eddy, is unbounded.

A little more than two years ago I was, according to my own belief and the declaration of doctors, an incurable invalid. A lengthened siege of lung and throat affection, insomnia, loss of appetite, a cough that shook me to the foundation, and other bodily ailments developed into what medical testimony designated organic heart disease.

Since coming into Christian Science, our experiences have been varied, and many demonstrations, physical, mental, and financial, have been made, teaching us when Christianly and scientifically applied, that "one with God is a majority," because one with Good, which is all-powerful, cannot fail. Every sincere desire, prayerfully laid before our heavenly Father, asking for guidance, wisdom, and grace, is answered with signs following, if we are living in obedience to Love, watching every thought when alone, careful when in business to be reliable in word and deed, and in society overcoming selfishness, envy, and jealousy.

Dear Brother in Truth: —I thought I would write you a few lines to let you know that I am still doing God's work. I send you a statement of one of my patients that you can send to the Journal, and I will send you some more of them.

I send the following copy of a letter, which is one of many received from this same earnest worker in Christ's cause. She is a half-breed Indian.

My childhood was ever under the cloud of fear, the dread of breaking physical and theological laws, and as I grew older these fears increased and I became more and more enslaved. Truly "fear hath torment.

Dear —:—When my brother was home at election time he got those Sentinels out of the postoffice that you sent me, and he and my sister went in to see our neighbors across the street. My sister, not thinking what she was doing, opened the package and forgot to bring the papers home.

Some months ago while working in a machine shop I did considerable work on a drilling machine. This machine was located in front of an emery wheel of medium size and high speed.

Only two years ago I was suffering with so-called incurable diseases, which had baffled the skill of physicians and surgeons. I was giving up in despair, being thoroughly convinced that materia medica could not help me, and I cried to God for help daily.
