Testimonies of Healing

It is with the deepest sense of love to God and gratitude to Mrs. Eddy that this testimony is written in proof of the healing power of God as taught in Christian Science.

It is three years since I first came into Christian Science after a severe nervous breakdown. I was opposed to Science, not knowing what it really is, and thinking it would take me away from a church where we had all been brought up and of which we were members; but I finally decided to try it to please a very dear sister.

In January, 1914, I went to a hospital and gave birth to a perfectly healthy child, but through negligence on the doctor's part blood-poison set in. On the second day I had a raging fever, for which an ice-cap was put on my head.

Although I had known of many healings through Christian Science and for years had been dissatisfied with the spiritual comfort received from the teachings of the church to which I belonged, yet it required a very severe trial, and then the healing of my husband, to make me willing even to try to understand Science. It was almost a year after that before I began to grasp this glorious truth.

I came to Christian Science about four years ago during the illness of my little daughter, who had been operated upon for tubercular glands of the neck. After four and a half months of medical treatment by reputable physicians the wounds did not heal.

Although the study of Christian Science was not taken up to gain physical benefit, I am today a better man physically, mentally, and morally in consequence of growth in the understanding of its Principle. During the past twelve years no material remedies of any sort have been used, but all discordant conditions have been overcome in Christian Science, including stomach disorder, sleeplessness, headaches, colds, and influenza.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. It has truly proven that "man's extremity is God's opportunity.

When Christian Science came to me I was very ill with lung trouble, and the doctor said there was no hope for me. A friend then sent me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

I wish to relate an experience which to me was a convincing proof of the healing power of Christian Science. In the fall of 1911 I was bed-fast with an attack of bowel trouble, and in a few days my condition became alarming.

It has been wonderfully proven to me that God is indeed the great Physician. For seven years after the birth of my child I was in very poor health; in fact I had been delicate all my life.
