Testimonies of Healing

It is three years since we became acquainted with Christian Science,and during that time we have received many blessings, for which we are truly grateful. More especially would I like to tell of one instance of healing.

This testimony is given in gratitude for the many benefits received through Christian Science. About four years ago, having applied for an insurance policy, I was examined by two doctors, whose report was of such a character that my application was refused.

In August, 1911, I was taken severely ill, and on his second visit the physician pronounced it typhoid fever. I was not a Scientist, but having seen some of the benefits derived from their treatment of disease, I decided that I would rather trust my case with Christian Science than with materia medica.

In the spring of 1911 I became afflicted with a diseased condition of the gums, which the physicians diagnosed as very obstinate, and said that in order to check the decomposition I should have several teeth extracted. At the same time I suffered with a severe affection of the throat and high fever.

It is now over a year since I became interested in Christian Science. When I look back on that time, it makes my heart rejoice, and I praise God for all the blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science and the understanding gained therefrom.

For eighteen years I thought I had to take medicine every night, and that if I did not I would be sick. I had three Christian Science practitioners treat me before the various ills from which I suffered were overcome, but after I had had a week's treatment from the last of these, normal action was established, and it has continued ever since.

I have had so many proofs of God's love and protection, of His ever-present help, that I should like to tell of some of them, in the hope that it may be a help to others who are suffering. When I was advised to try Christian Science, two years ago, I had no idea that it was a religion.

I have the greatest pleasure in verifying my wife's statements of her healing through Christian Science, when the highest medical skill in our city could do nothing for her. — John MacDiarmid, Edinburgh, Scotland.

It is with deep gratitude for Christian Science that I submit my testimony of healing. Not long since, I noticed what seemed to be a swelling on the top of my left foot.

The thankfulness of a friend for healing in Christian Science so much impressed me that in my hour of great need I went to a practitioner for help. In the first treatment I was healed of chronic sleeplessness, and established in the moral courage and strength of Christian Science.
