Testimonies of Healing
I am very grateful for Christian Science; it has always met the needs in our home whenever it has been rightly applied. There have been many times when the way has seemed dark, but the truth has always cleared the path.
For sixteen years I suffered from chronic heart trouble, which was very painful. Various physicians whom I consulted in this connection diagnosed the case as a serious trouble of a heart valve, severe nervous disorders, and weakness of the heart muscles, and sent me to well-known springs for the healing of heart trouble.
I am very grateful for the Christian Science literature, which is a wonderful help along the way, and I am also trying to show my appreciation of it by placing it in receptive hands. The Monitor coming daily is a wonderful educator.
On page 10 of "Rudimental Divine Science" Mrs. Eddy states that "mortal ills are but errors of thought, —diseases of mortal mind, and not of matter, for matter cannot feel, see, or report pain or disease," and this has been abundantly proved to me from the moment that my rebellious attitude toward Christian Science was abandoned.
That divine Love is fully able to supply every human need has been exemplified to me in many ways. Each day adds to my sense of gratitude for the understanding I have of Christian Science and I realize that the truest way to express this gratitude is to give to others that which has been given me.
I feel that I must at this time add my testimony to that of thousands of others who have been healed through the power of Truth. Less than two years ago I took up the study of Christian Science in an earnest search for health, and have ever found God's help at hand.
This testimony is an expression of gratitude for benefits received in Christian Science. For four years I was in bondage to a belief in tropical bowel complaint.
The desire to express our gratitude for all the blessings and healings which my wife and I have experienced through the teachings of Christian Science, prompts me to write my testimony. For many years my wife suffered from severe stomach trouble which, despite the doctor's aid, became worse from year to year, and the attending physician informed me that the sickness was incurable and that her end was near.
I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science. I had the privilege of attending the Sunday school for a number of years and receiving the loving instruction given there.
In the first copy of Der Herold which was sent me, I found a testimony which proved very helpful, as the case related was very similar to mine. Perhaps this testimony, which I give with deep gratitude, may also help another.
