Testimonies of Healing

On the twenty-fifth of June, 1911, our baby girl refused all food and drink with the exception of water. The symptoms were severe chill and congestion, and as she seemed to be rapidly becoming worse, we telegraphed to Johannesburg, where lives our nearest Christian Science practitioner.

On returning from a well-known health resort in 1907, without having been healed, I one day exclaimed, "O how I wish that some great scientific person would discover a universal remedy for disease which would make everybody well!" Soon after this a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy came into my hands, and on the first page of that book were the words, "Desire is prayer.

I am sincerely grateful to be able to testify to the good that Christian Science has done for me. About three months ago my little boy's head and body became covered with an eruption, and the doctor said he was suffering from poisoning caused through undigested food.

My gratitude is great indeed for the many blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. My heart overflows with thankfulness to God for the wonderful exaltation of thought that has been mine during the eleven years since Christian Science came into my life.

Christian Science came to me when all hope had fled. Some one has said that "at some time in each human life there comes a day of crucifixion," and that time surely had come to me.

It is with a grateful heart that I tell of the many blessings which my family and myself have experienced through Christian Science. I was nerve-racked for sixteen years, the trouble at times reaching an acute stage.

I am deeply grateful to God, also to our Leader, for the many blessings which have come to me from the unfoldment of truth in my consciousness through the study of Christian Science. I was in bondage to sickness and pain for many years.

When I first came into Christian Science I had not one spark of hope for my future, having been a sufferer for over eight years, and like many others I took up Christian Science as a last resort. When I was fifteen years old I met with an accident while playing football, and injured my spine.

I have too long neglected an acknowledgment of the healing which I received through Christian Science, physically, morally, and spiritually. Some years ago I was healed, in one week's treatment, of a very severe head trouble, also of ailments of many years' standing.

I am very thankful to God for Christian Science. About six years ago I went into a public library in London to read, and came across a copy of The Christian Science Journal.
