Testimonies of Healing
I am thankful to God and gladly give testimony to what Christian Science has done for me. When very young I had the mumps, which left a settled trouble in my ears, causing deafness, and every winter I suffered with earache.
I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings which have come to me since taking up the study of Christian Science. Having always been bound by fear and from childhood frail and nervous, as the years passed I was fast becoming an invalid.
When on Aug. 8, 1898.
Christian Science has brought so many blessings to me that I wish to express my gratitude. I am striving lovingly to live according to its teachings and know that a better understanding is being gained, for I am able to work out many problems for myself.
My greatest desire for some time has been to tell through our literature of the many benefits that have come to me and mine through Christian Science. For years I was subject to colds in the fall, and they would continue through the winter, leaving me with a severe cough, which was most annoying not only to myself but to all around me.
My most earnest desire is that this testimony may prove the means of leading some one who is weary and heavy laden, and who is seeking deliverance from inharmonious conditions, to the way of Truth as found in Christian Science. For many years untold blessings have come to me through its teachings.
Christian Science has removed such a terrible dread from my life, and also prevented so many years of physical suffering, that I rejoice in the opportunity to tell others and so perhaps lift a cloud of fear and discouragement from them. About ten years ago I was operated on for the removal of a growth in the right breast, which had first been noticed several years previous, and at the time the operation was decided upon was increasing much more rapidly than it had been.
I can only try to put into words what Christian Science has done for me. Because of my frailty from babyhood it was thought that I had inherited lung trouble.
I am very thankful to be able to state that I was healed in Christian Science of nervous breakdown contracted through thirteen years of heart trouble, catarrh, and fear of lung trouble, which was considered hereditary in our family. I am also grateful to have learned to forgive all who have ever wronged me; in fact, to love my enemies, because "love is the fulfilling of the law.
I am very grateful for Christian Science, through which I was healed of rheumatism and other ailments, and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, the author of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
