Testimonies of Healing
I want to express my gratitude for the healing I have received through Christian Science. Several years ago a soreness of the feet came on and there was no cessation of the pain, so that both standing and walking became difficult.
It is a little more than a year since I first turned to Christian Science for physical healing, and found God. I had been an invalid for years, and for months at a time was completely helpless from a severe spinal trouble.
After having had two operations and ten years' treatment in materiel medica I was told by two doctors of excellent reputation in Brooklyn and New York that the operations were failures, and one physician said it would be a year before I was strong enough to undergo another. "Then," he added, "we will have a radical operation and straighten things out.
Ten years ago Christian Science saved me from an operation for tubercular glands. I was very grateful for this, and from my first treatment to this day have never had a doctor or used a drop of medicine, not even a hand lotion, although previous to that time I had suffered from September to May each year with chapped hands.
In the three and a half years that I have been studying Christian Science we have experienced a great deal of good. Indeed this saving truth is the richest blessing that has ever come into my life.
With the deepest gratitude I wish to give this testimony to the healing of rheumatism through Christian Science. Since childhood I had suffered almost constant pain, and when a much trusted physician told my husband that nothing more could be done for me, I determined to try Christian Science.
Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " I have experienced the fulfilment of this promise of the Master in my healing through the study of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
It is with pleasure that I tell of my healing in Christian Science, in the hope that it may encourage some one who is seeking help. For eight years I suffered from lung trouble, for which materia medica could do nothing, and as members of my family had passed on with this disease, my fear was great.
I send this testimony with thankfulness to God as the giver of all good, and with gratitude to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who through our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has shown us the way.
During the past six years I have used no material remedies, and in every instance where Christian Science treatment has been called for the results have been satisfactory. This also applies with equal force to my wife and child.
