Testimonies of Healing
I Am grateful for the wonderful good Christian Science is doing. In my own case, while some ailments have been healed since I took up the study, it was not the physical help so much as the spiritual that attracted me.
Although words can never express my heart's deep gratitude, it is a duty and a pleasure to give out to the world what Christian Science has done for me. I was not only raised from helplessness to health, but through my healing of physical disease I have found an ever present and all loving God to lean upon daily through all the trials of what is called mortal life.
Several years ago, while attending school, I was compelled to take the Bible as a study with one recitation a week. We were allowed so many "cuts" from classes each semester, and I used most of mine on Bible classes.
About three years ago, through observation of those who were letting their light shine, I was led to Christian Science, at a time when life seemed to hold for me nothing but un-happiness and disappointment. With the first glimpse of the truths in this Science was born the hope of realizing the ideals for which I had been striving, but always with defeat.
I AM truly grateful for the help that Christian Science has been to me. In February, 1914, I was taken ill with hemorrhage.
Like many others, I came to Christian Science for physical healing, and was relieved of a stomach trouble of many years' standing. Before receiving Christian Science treatment I had tried several different systems of diet and every drug that I could hear of that was supposed to help my trouble, but I grew steadily worse.
It has been twenty years since Christian Science first came to my notice. Considering it to be some new fad of the moment, I did not think it was for me, nor did I care to investigate it further at that time; but after suffering physically for several years and failing to receive permanent relief from material means, I turned to it ten years ago for help, and through its healing efficacy was completely healed of two chronic ailments of many years' standing.
It is with the deepest sense of gratitude that I add my tribute to the power of Truth as revealed in Christian Science. For many years I suffered from violent headaches, kidney disorder, female trouble, weak heart, which was said to be hereditary, and other ills.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the particulars of my coming into Christian Science. In early youth I was thrown largely upon my own resources, and often in working out the vexed problems that presented themselves I found it most helpful to turn to the Bible for guidance.
When quite young I became afflicted with a rheumatic trouble which was attended by painful swelling of the joints. This ailment became very serious as years went on, and I would often suffer dreadfully for weeks at a time, my condition being such that I had difficulty in moving my hands and limbs.
