Testimonies of Healing

I have often thought I would like to give to the Field my first experience in Christian Science, and also my healing, which, to me, was most wonderful. From early boyhood to the time of my healing, which included many long and weary years, I can scarcely remember a time when I was not taking medicine in some form.

I GREW up in an atmosphere of skepticism. A most unfortunate religious experience had brought my parents to a condition of thought which, when it was not cynical or amused, was hostile to every religious idea based on the Bible.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I acknowledge the healing and regenerating power of Truth, to which I owe all that I have and all that I am. Before coming to Christian Science, I was continually under a doctor's care, always taking medicine, yet hardly knowing a day free from pain.

Christian Science soon causes us to exclaim with the Psalmist, "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. " I could not enumerate the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to our home in the last six years.

I used to think when I was taking Christian Science treatment that if I were ever healed I would write my testimony for the Journal, because I received so much help from those who had written of their healing. Mine is the old but sweet story that so many have told before.

For twenty-five years I had been ailing, growing worse each year. I employed several physicians, hoping to be cured, but found no help, and finally had to undergo two operations.

I have received so much benefit from Christian Science, both spiritually and physically, that I would like to express my gratitude to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to all those who have so kindly and lovingly helped me in Christian Science.

We learn in Christian Science that loving is giving, and we should appreciate the blessed privilege of giving out to others the reason for the hope that is in us. It is with the deepest gratitude that I offer the following testimony, trusting it may inspire faith and strengthen hope in some dear heart on the journey "from sense to Soul" (Science and Health, p.

I accepted Christian Science through my physical healing, which to me was such a wonderful thing that I send an account of it for publication, hoping it may benefit some one else. For four years I suffered greatly from nervous prostration, stomach trouble, and other ills which made my life miserable.

It was through the healing of my husband that I was led to accept Christian Science. I came to it in doubt, and sometimes the proof given in physical healing was the only thing that anchored me.
