Testimonies of Healing

My daughter's healing in Christian Science was remarkable. Her case was of long standing and considered hopeless.

I came into Christian Science through the healing of one I love — seeing her strong after years of suffering — but the physical healing is small compared to the spiritual development — like the opening of a flower. Such sweetness and tenderness and strength.

Two and a half years ago I was a physical and mental wreck from stomach and bowel trouble in its worst form. I had doctored with some of the most eminent physicians for two years.

Words cannot tell all that Christian Science has done for me. It came to me in a time of sore need, when all material means had been tried and had failed.

I feel that I should give my testimony to the healing and redeeming power of Christian Science. I had not known good health from my earliest childhood.

In testifying to the benefits I have received from the study and application of Christian Science, I desire to render thanks to Almighty God, — the Principle of all good, — and to the noble woman who received the healing message and recorded the truth, with rules for its application to the needs of humanity. A message of such vital import—a divine revelation—surely demands the attention of suffering, sick, and sinning mortals, and their healing must of necessity cause expressions of thanks to the bearer of the message, Mrs.

Six years ago I was healed in Christian Science. I had been an invalid for a year and a half, in bed the greater part of the time.

I Became interested in Christian Science in 1901. For four or five years I had suffered with severe attacks which nothing but an opiate seemed to relieve.

When I was about thirty years of age, a medical man in the West Indies prescribed, as a preventive of fever, that I should smoke whenever it was necessary to travel through swamps by night. Believing him to be a safe guide, I followed his advice.

It is nearly two years since Christian Science came to me, and I wish that I could half express the joy of it all. Years of suffering, alternating hope and despair in the search for health through all the means known to medical therapeutics, is a fitting preparation for something more than human resources.
