Testimonies of Healing

Ever since I was a small child I wanted to be a trained nurse and bent every effort in that direction. When I had finished my college studies, where I made a specialty of physical science, I was yet too young to enter the hospital, so I went into a physician's dispensary to gain practice in pharmacy, and to find out if I were really fitted for the desired work.

I desire to tell what Christian Science has done for me through the study of Mrs. Eddy's writings.

It has been something over a year since God, with "His great love wherewith he loved us," answered my cry from out the depths of physical suffering and mental despair by guiding me to a Christian Science service. There, for the first time, I heard the sweet assurance that God does not will that man should suffer.

My heart is indeed filled with gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. It is now about thirteen months since I began treatments.

Words cannot express my gratitude to God for Christian Science. I am trying to live a life of love daily, so that I may thus acknowledge the great debt I owe to God.

It is with thankfulness for the many blessings received through Christian Science, that I send this testimony. Two years ago, while I was lying in a hospital, waiting to undergo an operation for a trouble of six years' standing, my sister, a Christian Scientist, came to see me.

I desire to express my deep gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me. Having been for many years a great sufferer from asthma and bronchitis, and finding no relief from doctors, I felt so weak and depressed that I thought it would be necessary for me to give up my occupation.

It is with joy and gratitude that I write this testimony. Five years ago I was healed of the worst form of goitre through Christian Science treatment.

I have gained the courage, industry, and honest gratitude to acknowledge, in a very small degree, the blessings that have come to me from such apprehension of Christian Science as I have attained. Many years ago, when my mother came into some knowledge of Christian Science, my health became improved, and, among other things, malaria and intermittent fever disappeared.

I have read the Journal and Sentinel for nearly three years, and have derived much benefit in so doing, especially from the testimonies. Christian Science was first brought to my notice in 1897, and I immediately began to study "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and the periodicals.
