Testimonies of Healing
I was healed by Christian Science after being confined to the bed for nearly three months and practically unable to use my right leg. The doctors said that unless I underwent an operation it would be necessary to have the leg amputated or else have a stiff knee.
For five years I suffered with chronic stomach and bowel trouble, which became so severe that for two and a half years I could hardly retain any food. The bowel disorder was also severe, and weakened me so much that it seemed as if I had but a short time to live, the physicians having declared my trouble to be incurable.
I am glad to tell something of what Christian Science has done for me, and hope it will help some who may be in the same bondage in which I was. From girlhood I had suffered from a bowel disorder, and for fifteen years had always resorted to material means for temporary relief.
Christian Science has brought so many blessings into my life that I can no longer refrain from expressing my gratitude. I did not come to it through the physical healing, but this glorious truth has done far more; it has healed me of infidelity and has given me a practical concept of God which I can understand, and prove Him to be an everpresent help in time of trouble.
I Owe a debt of gratitude to Christian Science for the many blessings which it has brought me. Some ten years ago I turned to Christian Science and was healed of a severe chronic ailment, after I had consulted various physicians without receiving relief.
I feel it a duty as well as a privilege to tell what Christian Science has done for me. Until a short time ago the only feeling I had toward it was prejudice, born of ignorance, as I knew nothing about its teachings.
I feel it a duty to add my testimony to those of the thousands who after great tribulations have found a God of love. Early in May, 1898, my little girl, six years old, developed a very painful eye trouble.
AT the time Christian Science was presented to me I was receiving treatment from an osteopathic physician for an organic displacement, as well as a dislocation of the hip, and was taking medicine from a medical doctor for heart trouble. I was also having my eyes treated by an oculist, but without any apparent relief.
I have received so many blessings since I accepted Christian Science that I feel it a duty to tell others something of what it has done for our home. When Christian Science found me, I had been an invalid for seven years, but I was healed, and was soon able to help others.
Sincere gratitude impels me to testify to the blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. I turned to it some two and a half years ago, while in a desperate condition, when friends who could not stand my distress any longer advised me to give it a trial.
