Testimonies of Healing

In thankfulness to God, and gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I give my testimony to the power of Christian Science to heal.

At the age of ten I was spiritually awakened. I shall never forget the great peace that came to me, and from that day to this I have never doubted God in His protecting care over me.

It is with a grateful heart that I wish to tell of the blessings and benefits which have come to us through Christian Science and how we were led to experience these. About five years ago our only daughter became afflicted with a severe nervous trouble, and although we consulted several physicians, the trouble grew more severe, till her condition was such that she had to be watched practically all the time, as things would otherwise go wrong.

My attention was first drawn to Christian Science by the healing, in a few weeks, of a member of our family who had tried doctors and various remedies for two years without benefit. While I saw this healing, I was really more impressed by the change in this person's disposition, for she had become patient and loving, whereas she had been the reverse.

I have great reason to be thankful to Christian Science for many things. Most of all, I am inexpressibly grateful that it has given me an understanding of God, and a consequent peace of mind never before attained in all the years of manhood.

Three years ago my attention was first drawn to Christian Science as the result of a wonderful proof of the regenerating and healing power of God experienced in the case of my sister-in-law, who was healed of general paralysis. However, it was not until later that we really became interested in this Science, through which many benefits have accrued to us.

When Christian Science found me, I had been a sufferer for over eight years from a complication of diseases, one of which was a bad form of spinal trouble considered incurable by materia medica. Two years ago, before coming into Science, I underwent an operation, which did not prove successful, and I kept failing until I was in a very weak condition.

For a long time I have felt it my duty to tell people what God has done for me and my child, and it is with gladness I send in my testimony. When he was a year and a half old and just beginning to run around, a heavy flat-iron fell on his foot.

This is to testify to the healing of our little girl as related by my wife. We feel very thankful for this blessing, as well as for many others which we have experienced since we began to study Christian Science.

With gratitude I testify to the blessings which I have received by means of Christian Science. I used to suffer from nervous exhaustion so that I was sometimes laid up for weeks at a time, and medical help proved futile.
