Testimonies of Healing

Nine years ago I came to Christian Science for the healing of female trouble, and because this healing has not yet been completed I have neglected to express my thanks for the innumerable other blessings received. I had been studying only a short time when I was healed of bowel disorder; while before this I always had a material remedy on hand.

I know that Christian Science heals morally, physically, and mentally by the power of divine ever presence. Three years ago, when in a hospital, I asked a practitioner if one could be healed in Christian Science who did not believe in it, and she answered by turning to the opening sentence of the Preface of that glorious book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

When Christian Science was brought to me over five years ago I was healed of a severe stomach disorder; I could not drink even water, the trouble had become so acute. But after my healing I had no faith in Christian Science, so did not even thank the practitioner for her help.

Before divine Truth was known to me I was always ready to pass a critical remark, oftentimes a stinging one, about those who were trying to keep the commandments of God. I am deeply remorseful for those remarks which my ignorance in things religious caused me to make.

As a happy witness to the power of Truth I wish to tell every one of my healing from blood-poisoning, within a short time, through Christian Science. When the physician's skill was exhausted, I prayed in utter despair at first, and then with growing trust in God, for help,—and His help did come.

This testimony is written with the hope that it may be of as much help to some sufferer as others' testimonies have been to me. After several physicians had pronounced my case incurable, I took treatment in Christian Science.

A sense of love and thankfulness to God leads me to send this testimony of what Christian Science has done for me and for my family. I first became interested in this teaching through the healing of a friend.

I wish to tell of some of the blessings received through the study of Christian Science. I had reached a point where God as presented by scholastic theology meant nothing to me.

I have had many demonstrations of Truth's healing efficacy and they have brought to me a peace and comfort I never before knew. As a young girl I tried to read the Bible, but being unable to understand it and only feeling more confused on account of the seeming contradictions, the reading was dropped.

From the cradle until I came to Christian Science I, was never free from pain. In 1912 I had to go to the hospital for a while to have my arm operated on, but until I came to Christian Science I could not use my wrist properly.
