Testimonies of Healing

It is with feelings of love and gratitude for the clearer understanding of God's Word which I have gained through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, that I write this testimony, in the hope it will help some one else who may be groping in the dark as I was until Christian Science brought me into the light.

Some time ago, our little girl was stricken with measles. A Christian Science practitioner treated her, and she progressed nicely without material precautions; but soon after this, ear trouble, an ailment particularly alarming to me, presented itself.

I realize as never before that unto us a Saviour is born. When we realize the all-power of God, this realization lifts us out of the pit of despair and death, into life, peace, and happiness.

I have felt for some time that it was my duty as well as a privilege to testify to the saving power of Christian Science as taught in the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. " From the age of sixteen I was a seeker for Truth, and had been a member of an orthodox church for several years when force of circumstances led me to unite with another denomination.

I have long received freely the benefits of Christian Science without having voiced a word of gratitude, but I am indeed grateful, and grow more so as I understand better the meaning of the word. I hardly know where to begin to count my blessings, as Christian Science is a constant help to me.

I would like everybody to know about my wonderful healing. About three years ago I met with an accident as I was working in a machine shop.

Over a year ago a trouble which I had felt off and on for some time became so serious that I consulted a physician, who said it was an affection of the nerves in my right arm and shoulder. He also said that as it was of long standing it would take a long time to cure; but the remedies he gave did not relieve me.

In August, 1907, my brother met with an accident while at work. He was caught in a belt, was thrown against a casting, and when picked up was unconscious.

In Isaiah we read: "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. " That this is a demonstrable fact I have had overwhelming proof.

I give the following testimony with a sense of deep gratitude for the blessings which Christian Science has brought to me and mine. About two years ago my health failed through strenuous mental work.
