Testimonies of Healing

It is with sincere thankfulness to God for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science, that I wish to tell what Truth has done for me. Eight years ago, after lying on a bed of suffering for nine months on account of a nervous breakdown, I was almost instantly healed by Truth through absent treatment given by a Christian Science practitioner.

Christian Science has been of great help to me in many ways, but I will speak of one demonstration in particular. To ride on a street-car used to make me very dizzy, and in 1911 I fell from a moving car, striking the back of my head on the pavement.

When I was a child I had a very violent temper, and as I grew older it became worse and worse. I would become so angry that I would lose all control of myself and act like an insane person.

I deem it a privilege to be allowed to testify, through the pages of the Journal, to God's merciful goodness to me in the healing of my body and the uplifting of my thought from dark visions of mortal sense into a clearer atmosphere, that of Love and divine Science. For twenty-five years I was held in bondage to matter and material law expressed in many phases of suffering, such as acute stomach trouble, nervous exhaustion with a spinal complication, a skin disease, and other troubles which resulted in severe operations.

I feel that I cannot wait any longer to express publicly my gratitude for Christian Science in a general way, and also in particular, in the case of my eighteen months' old boy. One evening, about the middle of June, 1912, the baby tripped over a rug and fell on his feeding-bottle, knocking out one of his upper front teeth.

Over two years ago I was healed through Christian Science of stomach and bowel trouble. A doctor pronounced it catarrh of the stomach, and I had to use a stomach pump twice a day for two years.

I gladly avail myself of the privilege offered us to express our gratitude through the Christian Science periodicals. After the wonderful healing of my father through Christian Science, I turned to it for help in my own case.

With a thankful heart I can testify that my eyes have been restored to a normal condition by Christian Science. Some time ago they were very bad, and I suffered intense pain in them for a couple of days.

It is a joy to tell others of the many changes which have come into my life through the action of Christian Science. I have been completely healed of a weak back which gave me constant pain, and which was supposedly caused by three different falls.

It is with a heart full of love to God, and also gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, that I give this testimony in acknowledgment of what Christian Science has done for me.
