Testimonies of Healing

One morning in August, 1912, I awakened with paralysis, my right side seeming to be lifeless. I had my daughter telephone to a practitioner for Christian Science treatment, and to my surprise I was enabled to go to her office after the fourth treatment, and at the end of five more treatments I was entirely well.

I feel it a duty to write my testimony, in the hope that it may help some one. When staying in Holland in the year 1906, my cousin suddenly became very ill, and the doctor pronounced her case to be cerebral disease.

IT was in 1902 that I first heard of Christian Science. I was then in great trouble in every way, but felt a dogged determination not to acknowledge myself beaten.

I am very grateful for the innumerable blessings I have received during the seven years that have passed since I first heard the words Christian Science, and in the degree in which I have understood what these two words mean, I have received permanent help mentally, morally, physically, financially, and spiritually. Job expressed the hope of physical healing when he declared, "In my flesh shall I see God.

Gratitude for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to me impels me to send this testimony. I was brought into this truth through physical healing a few years ago.

I am exceedingly glad to tell of the great blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. When I first called a practitioner, I was suffering from a severe cold, from which I had to have quick relief in order to be able to do public work.

I desire to express my sincere gratitude for Christian Science. I did not come to it for physical healing, but was attracted to it because it seemed so practical.

I feel so grateful for Christian Science and all it has done for me that I want to tell others of my healing. About two years ago I was in great misery, suffering from nervous Breakdown.

A few years before I heard of Christian Science I began to grow tired of the old way of praying. I wanted to be good and happy, yet I never felt any better for praying.

It is with a heart full of thankfulness to God that I give this testimony to what Christian Science has done for me. In 1910 I was taken ill, and one of our best doctors said my kidneys were affected.
