Testimonies of Healing
IN March, 1912, when I applied I for Christian Science treatment, I was so weak that I could scarcely stand. I had been given up by several physicians, who said that with the best of care I might live a few years at the most, but that I would be able to do only the lightest work.
Christian Science has opened to me a new way of viewing life, and has brought me such a substantial basis on which to work that I daily rejoice over the blessing. I have had several healings.
It is three years since I turned to Christian Science for physical healing, which had been sought through materia medica until one physician admitted it could do nothing for me, and that it was useless for me to employ this agency any longer. I left my place of business one day about noon, as I was not feeling well, and upon reaching home, or shortly thereafter, had an attack which the doctor who was hurriedly summoned pronounced heart failure.
I first heard of Christian Science while attending school in Boston. At that time I was instantaneously healed of a very severe attack of neuralgia by one of Mrs.
With a heart full of gratitude I wish to tell of a demonstration over what seemed to be impending death. On one occasion my husband was taken with severe pain in the bowels and in less than an hour said he was dying.
I rejoice that I can truthfully say that the healing both of my wife and myself is just as she has related it, and is permanent. Christian Science has proved itself to be "the power of God" over and over again in our home, and we are truly grateful.
Surely I have abundant reason to be grateful for Christian Science, not only for the many healings it has accomplished for me, but for the way in which a faithful study of the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, has corrected my thinking in all directions.
It is about seventeen years since my first healing in Christian Science came as a most blessed experience. I had been a great sufferer from asthma and lung trouble and had been told by my physician, who was always faithful in his efforts to help me, that he could do nothing more than relieve me temporarily.
About twelve years ago I was invited to attend the Christian Science church services with some friends. I became interested in the teaching and soon took up the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
Four years ago two active, loyal students of Christian Science took its gospel of health to a home where it was unknown. For several years the members of this home had been in great mental and physical distress, for which every material means had been tried, but conditions only grew worse.
