Testimonies of Healing

Language is inadequate to express my gratitude for the revelation of Christian Science and my joy that it has come to me. Although suffering from various physical ailments, they were trifling compared to the darkness of my mind, and I sought Christian Science for the spiritual enlightenment alone.

I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science, which cured our baby of rupture. A friend was telling me of the wonderful things that Christian Science could do, and especially of how a little baby had been most wonderfully healed.
