Testimonies of Healing

One's gratitude for Truth is best expressed in a life corrected, yet the spoken or written testimony may be of help to some one passing through a similar experience. While I am deeply grateful for the physical help which has come to me through the study of Christian Science, yet above all I am grateful for peace, for a true and dependable philosophy of life, for the ability to say with certainty, "I know.

"ARE we truly grateful for the blessings already bestowed upon us, if we are not endeavoring to share them with others?"

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I write this testimony to what Christian Science has done for me. I had been in poor health for several years, suffering from various ills and extreme nervousness, followed by an attack of what is known as Bright's disease.

On page 365 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes, "If the Scientist reaches his patient through divine Love, the healing work will be accomplished at one visit, and the disease will vanish into its native nothingness like dew before the morning sunshine.

This is a statement of my healing by Christian Science. I was cured of a disease called "micradenia," which the physicians claimed was a fatal one and never known to have been cured.

I want to tell what Christian Science has done for me. Nearly three years ago I was suffering from rheumatism.
