Testimonies of Healing
From a heart overflowing with gratitude to God for Christian Science, I give my testimony. I was healed of an abnormal growth after having been given up by a physician who could not even promise me any relief from an operation.
My heart is so full of gratitude for all the blessings Christian Science has brought to me, that I feel it is time I offered my testimony. Christian Science has answered for me all the questions I have been asking about God and His creation ever since I was a child, and has given me an understanding of Him which has grounded my faith upon the rock of Truth, firm and unshaken in storm or strife.
When I came into Christian Science, over seven years ago, I was suffering with what several physicians told me was an incurable disease. I then turned to Christian Science, and with two weeks' absent treatment I was healed.
In the spring of 1911 I was not only lying in a darkened room, but to me the great truth of man's spiritual being was wholly obscured. Today the curtains are lifted, and the light of Truth is shining in, for I am perfectly healed physically, and have attained that knowledge which nothing can take from me! For ten years I had been ill to a greater or less extent, and during this time had undergone two major operations and was treated by fourteen doctors (not including several eye specialists), but to no avail.
I have had people say to me that Christian Science would be all right if only Mrs. Eddy were left out of it.
After six years of living in the light of Truth, I feel impelled by an overwhelming sense of gratitude to tell of some of the blessings which Christian Science has brought to me. When I first sought its aid I was in a state of utter despair.
I feel impelled to give public expression to my gratitude for all I have received through Christian Science, with the hope that it may bear its share in helping my fellow beings, although it would be impossible to tell of all the instances in which good has come to us. When Christian Science found me, I was sick and miserable, mentally and physically, but through its ministry I have found health and joy.
Three years ago I was a sufferer from what is known as Bright's disease, severe nervous exhaustion, with many symptoms of paralysis, respecting which attending physicians could offer little hope. For five months I was unable to attend to my professional duties, with the outlook, according to medical science, of never being able to do so.
It is with heartfelt joy and gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christ, as revealed in Christian Science. Some four years ago, I was a hopeless invalid, suffering from a so-called malignant and incurable disease.
For years I suffered severely with an eye trouble. As soon as I tried to read, pain in the head and eyes would set in.
