Testimonies of Healing

With a heart full of gratitude for many blessings gained through the study and practice of Christian Science, I offer my testimony to the healing power of this truth, hoping it may help some one who has suffered as I did. First, I was healed of discouragement brought on by reverses.

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me. I was a sufferer from bronchial trouble from childhood, and as I grew older rheumatism and a stomach disease with many accompanying ills were added.

I have such a sense of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and for the world, that I realize it to be my duty as well as pleasure to give my testimony. I became interested in this truth through going to the Wednesday evening services with friends who are Christian Scientists.

Two years ago I first heard of Christian Science. I had suffered for eight years with a malignant disease in the face.

IT is with great pleasure that I give my testimony of healing. I came to Christian Science as a last resort, hoping, and praying that I might in some way escape from what seemed sure death, as I had been suffering for a long time from tubercular disease of the hip.

Any one who has been afflicted with that awful false appetite for strong drink can perhaps understand my thankfulness to Mrs. Eddy and her loyal followers for the freedom from this drink bondage which I now enjoy.

For several years I was a great sufferer physically and mentally. I had a number of ailments, among them being very severe stomach trouble.

From infancy I was considered of delicate constitution, and rheumatism, attacks of throat trouble, headaches, and an extremely nervous disposition furnished a program for years which was anything but pleasant. My first experience with Christian Science was twelve years ago, while having a severe attack of throat trouble.

In February, 1907, I read in a current magazine an article on Christian Science, in which the author made no attempt to treat this infinite theme, but sought, rather, to awaken in the mind of the reader an unbiased apprehension in the face of the world's prejudicial attitude toward it. These few words so aroused my sense of justice, and the editor's note concerning the recent healing of the author through Christian Science treatment appealed so strongly to my own suffering sense, that I immediately decided to investigate the subject.

I rejoice in the blessed truth of Christian Science, and I have had many proofs of its healing Principle. Some time ago I fell down the cellar stairs, striking on my Back, below the shoulder-blade, in such a way that I could scarcely breathe; but I at once declared the truth, knowing that God is a present help, and I soon felt better, so that I was able to get upstairs with my husband's help.
