Testimonies of Healing
In 1907 I seemed likely to become a hopeless cripple from sciatica and neuritis in their severest forms, but Christian Science healed me. All my life I had been extremely delicate, never able to do things other children did without some suffering.
I feel impelled to write my testimony, and trust it may be accepted as one more witness to the truth contained in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
With thankfulness for even a slight knowledge of Christian Science, I will tell of benefits received. One Sunday, when returning from church, I was taken with severe pain in the back of the head and neck.
Christian Science came to me at a time when everything seemed dark, and it brought unspeakable joy and hope. I was bitter and despondent, fighting for courage to go on with life.
My experience in Christian Science dates from June 28, 1913, when my son, then twelve years of age, was run over by an automobile and dragged under the machine for some distance. His injuries included a fractured skull, a gash over one eye, and also bruises on his body.
About seven years ago Christian Science found me dissatisfied with life, dissatisfied with myself, and attributing to my environment much of my unhappiness and limitation. It also found me struggling under a load of physical ailments.
For the benefit of the many who are seeking help in their need, I would tell of how I found healing in Christian Science. I suffered for many years with an internal trouble, which was diagnosed in various ways by the physicians, none of whom seemed to be able to define the real nature of the disease.
It is a joy to say I have had many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science. For about seven years I have been studying the Bible under the guidance of the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
I am filled with gratitude for the blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. For years I was afflicted with bronchial catarrh.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send my testimony. Fifteen years ago Christian Science was brought to me while I was an inmate of the children's hospital in San Francisco, where I had been confined for nine years, suffering from hip disease.
