Testimonies of Healing

WHILE I am sincerely grateful for the physical benefits that have come to me through Christian Science, I appreciate far more deeply the mental and moral awakening that has been mine as the result of its teaching. Especially is this the case in my healing from the blindness of ingratitude.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. I was healed of the liquor habit in three weeks' treatment, and of epilepsy of over thirty years' standing.

Next to God, I wish to thank Mrs. Eddy and all the dear workers in Christian Science for the great blessings which I have thereby received.

Many times I have desired to write a grateful acknowledgment of the wonderful ways of Love as revealed to me in Christian Science, but my heart did not overflow. Today I truly am grateful, for my blessings have been more than I could wish or ask or hope, and I am glad.

I was for more than twenty-seven years a semiinvalid, suffering from a complication of diseases, the worst of which finally brought me to the operating-table. Life was indeed a burden.

I am most happy to be counted among the many thousands who have been healed in Christian Science, and it is with great gratitude and love to God, and to our dearly beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, that I testify to the healing power of Truth.

Five years ago I found it necessary to seek aid for physical ills (including catarrh and a stomach disorder, also an affection of both eyes) outside of medicine or climate; and while I was very much opposed to what I thought to be Christian Science, I finally decided to see if it was possible to secure any help from this source. I went to a practitioner, and in two weeks was greatly benefited; was soon able to take up my work, and also to lay aside the glasses which it had been necessary for me to use in order to read at all.

The psalmist prayed, "Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path;" and such was the prayer of my aching heart for many years, until Christian Science came with the healing power of Truth, and opened up to me the way to health and happiness. Since that time the path has been made plainer, and I have striven to follow, although the way has been beset many times by severe trials; yet, knowing that I was traveling toward my Father's house, I have never faltered.

I am deeply grateful for the many blessings that have come to me and mine, and that continue to bless us daily in Christian Science. I thank God that, without solicitation from any one, I turned to this truth, not for physical healing, but because I was in distress.

I feel very thankful to God for what Christian Science has done for me. About a year and a half ago I had a nervous breakdown which affected my head and made life seem a burden.
