Testimonies of Healing

I can truly say that Christian Science is to me a satisfying religion. I became interested in it about six years ago, through the instrumentality of a dear one who gave me a copy of The Christian Science Journal , advising me to read it.

The writer shares her healing journey after finding Christian Science.

To one who does not believe in the Bible, or who has not the understanding of it which is to be gained by its study in connection with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the recovery of my wife as told in the above testimony may seem miraculous; but to any person who has such understanding it will be recognized as the natural working of divine Principle, God, who governs and controls the universe. My wife had not been well for many years, and her troubles finally reached a point at which material remedies could give her no further help.

I am sometimes asked, "What has Christian Science done for you? Why do you respect and love Mrs. Eddy, its Discoverer and Founder?" Seven years ago, as I came home one afternoon, the doctor met me at the door.

It is a little less than three years ago that I began to study Christian 'Science, and during this time I have been given new life; many of the "former things" have passed away, and each day brings new light. When I began the study of Christian Science I was suffering great physical distress, having a supposedly incurable disease, also a complication of other ailments.

I became interested in Christian . Science nearly two years ago, when my little son, then six years of age, was healed of severe spinal trouble.

Among the many who are daily voicing thanks for the blessings received through Christian Science, none can be more grateful than I. Having suffered for many months from a tantalizing skin disease, and receiving no relief from materia medica, I was advised to try Christian Science.

When I recall my mother, Mrs. Catharine Holman, whose testimony is given above, as she was when I was a girl, memory pictures her as weak and delicate, and ourselves as always filled with anxiety and fear for her.

In 1892 a friend, though not a Christian Scientist, handed me a copy of Science and Health, and asked me if I would not like to read it. I gladly accepted the volume, and expressed my thanks for the opportunity it gave me to look into Christian Science, which I had for some time desired to do.

I desire to thank God, and to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for my healing, by writing my testimony, as in that way I shall possibly be able to help some one else in need.
