Testimonies of Healing
While visiting my sister in Tucson, Ariz. , with my three children, the boy of six was taken ill.
I am deeply grateful for what Christian Science has done for me. For many years I had been suffering from rheumatism, throat trouble, and neuralgia.
Christian Science came to me at a time when early religious teaching had become empty and unreal and the Bible a closed book. In searching for some solution of the mystery of life I had become entangled in the mazes of the occult, and for the liberation from this thought, though very gradual, I can never feel sufficiently thankful.
From the age of fourteen, sickness seemed to be my lot. I was suffering with anemia, as well as stomach and heart trouble, and continued ailing in this way until I became nineteen.
As to a court of last resort, I appealed to Christian Science for relief from a broken home, a broken heart, and a broken purse, and found it abundantly efficacious in each and all. Even more, for I learned that the Bible promises are not empty, neither having expired with a dispensation now ended, nor simply intended for a future existence.
IN 1902 my attention was directed to the efficacy of Christian Science by the coming to me of a Christian Science practitioner and her little son, for both of whom I did some dental work, in a way which for some reason impressed me. At this time I was apparently in excellent health and quite well satisfied with the religion of my birth.
So many blessings have come to me during the past four and a half years, since taking up the study of Christian Science, that it is my great desire to express my gratitude in every way possible. I have had numerous healings, some instantaneous; many proofs of the love and care of infinite good in meeting the needs of every day and hour, financial and otherwise.
I Feel very thankful for the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. It has been an ever present help in time of trouble.
From the time that I was a boy of ten years I suffered more or less from attacks of bowel disorder and biliousness. As I grew older the ailments became more aggravated, and I was assured by physicians' that they were chronic.
I can indeed say with Job, "I know that my redeemer liveth. " Six years ago I came to Christian Science for the healing.
