Testimonies of Healing
For the many blessings received since coming into Christian Science I wish to express my gratitude. Rheumatism and many other ills have been overcome through the understanding of the truth.
After an experience of several years in Christian Science I wish to express my thanks to Almighty God for the unnumbered blessings that have come to me. Although to material sense I was gifted with a wonderful constitution, nevertheless exposure, overexertion, want of ordinary care, wrong pursuits and pleasures, which seem to make up the chief aim and existence of so many, all brought their inevitable result in the shape of ill health.
With a heart full of thankfulness to God I testify to the many blessings received through Christian Science. Almost all of them have been brought about by the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
As with many others, not ill health in my own immediate family, but the raising up of a dear relative, apparently from the brink of the grave, drew me to Christian Science. We have received help in Science in so many ways that I cannot name them all.
Christian science was first presented to me in 1908, by a friend who had received a most wonderful healing, she having sent me some literature which I read and became much interested in. I secured a copy of the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
Much help, both spiritual and physical, has come to me through Christian Science. I suffered from the worst form of stomach and bowel disorder, severe headaches, heart trouble, paralysis, and sleeplessness.
For all the blessings Christian Science has brought to me I am truly grateful, and I thank God for having enabled Mrs. Eddy to explain this wonderful Science in such a way that all who faithfully study her book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" will most assuredly reap a rich reward.
I would like to tell of some of the blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science. In November, 1913, I was taken ill with rheumatism and swelling of the joints.
My gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me cannot be expressed in words, but I am trying to live it. In March, 1915, on shaking the fire one day while visiting a friend, the teakettle tipped and the boiling water ran over me.
During the summer of 1913 I was taken with an attack of sciatic rheumatism, and had medical treatment for two weeks, but grew steadily worse, until the trouble finally resulted in an alarming case of peritonitis. I was taken to the hospital, and remained there for a month.
