Testimonies of Healing

It is over three years since I sought healing in Christian Science. I had coughed more or less steadily ever since I can remember, but I did not give way to fear until one day when, without warning, I had a hemorrhage.

In the early part of 1907 I was taken very ill, the physician calling the disease rheumatism. The pain was intense in my right leg, and I suffered agony for about four months, when the hip showed signs of inflammation, which resulted in an operation after a consultation of doctors.

I desire publicly to express my sincere gratitude for the many blessings which God has sent me through Christian Science. Two years ago I was spending the summer in the mountains, and one Saturday morning I became violently ill, vomiting, and with great distress in the bowels.

Every well breath I have drawn for nearly fifteen years I owe to the healing power of the Christ-truth, as found in Christian Science. A stomach trouble, paralysis of one eye and defective vision of the other, pleurisy, susceptibility to colds, and many other ills, have been overcome by this truth.

We can testify with the psalmist, that "God is our refuge and strength. " We had faith in God's help in times of tribulation, but this was as far as we got.

With a heart full of gratitude to God, and also to our Leader, I wish to add my testimony to the practical efficacy of the healing power of Christian Science. For thirteen years Truth has been our physician.

Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " How much those words mean to a Christian Scientist! When visiting my sister a little over two years ago, I became interested in Christian Science, and while there my little son was healed of measles with the help of a practitioner.

The truth of being, realized by patient and practitioner, brings freedom from all that is opposed to health and harmony. This great truth, demonstrated through the understanding of Christian Science, destroys false belief, the seem-to-be mists and misapprehensions of mortal sense, and as we advance step by step on our journey, we understand that in proportion as the belief of life in matter is thus destroyed by the realization of the truth, we are lifted above all earth-clouds and rise into that clearer view which our Leader has so beautifully termed the "range of fetterless Mind" ( Science and Health, p.

I wish to call attention to a most remarkable demonstration of the healing power of divine Truth, hoping that it may help some one. Three years ago I was stricken with a very severe trouble in my leg.

Deep gratitude impels me to tell of the many blessings which I have experienced through Christian Science. My boy was afflicted for many years with a disease of the blood, as a result of which swellings and severe pain would manifest themselves whenever he fell or knocked himself, and no physician was able to heal him of this trouble.
