Testimonies of Healing

As I have been helped so much and so often by articles in the Journal and Sentinel, I should like to give my testimony to what Truth is doing for me. I realize to some extent the progress I have made, and I do not care to think of what my condition would have been if I had not been led to Christian Science when I was.

Our little town was quarantined, school closed, and homes on either side of ours were placarded "Small-pox. " In one of these homes there had been for a few weeks a copy of Science and Health, and the father called to me from the rear door, "Are you afraid to help my daughter?" The reply was, "God will heal your child; I am not afraid to do my part.

My parents were members of the Congregational Church and my early education having been one of love and reverence for holy living I united with the same church at the age of twelve and can never remember a time when the earnest purpose to settle every question on the side of right was not present with me. As time moved on I found my health failing amidst increasing responsibilities in life.

For all the blessings that have come to me through Christian Science I wish to-day to express publicly my gratitude. About four years ago I was healed through Christian Science of a severe stomach trouble.

The blessings obtained through the study of Christian Science are innumerable, not only to the student but to all those with whom he comes in contact. This has been proved true in my own family.

THE feast of good tidings of great joy given to us by I our much loved Journal and Sentinel, only serves as a reminder that, to continue the flow of a fountain its source must be liberally supplied with the waters that have done so much for most of us. Many of us seem to be lacking in the sense of spontaneity which makes the Wednesday evening meetings of our churches such a treat to a receptive listener; and for this reason, there is the greater responsibility for such to tell, through our periodicals, where we stand in this new realm of thought.

It is with a heart full of love to God for the revelation and revelator of Christian Science that I want to tell of some of the beautiful demonstrations we have had on the farm. When Christian Science came to our home, I had not walked for three years, with the exception of a few times when I supported myself on crutches and dragged my feet.

I took up the study of Christian Science thinking it might heal me as I had been sick for nine years. My healing was not instantaneous, but each time I would read Science and Health and Christian Science Journals and Sentinels , and realize the truth for myself and others, 1 could see I was benefited, and my children would give me treatments sometimes, and so help me.

Lately these words have been coming to me with much force, "A just acknowledgment of Truth, and what it has done for us, is an effectual help" (Science and Health, p. 372).

I have received so much benefit from the articles and testimonies in our periodicals that I wish to express my gratitude for the same, and to acknowledge some of the good I have received. I turned to Christian Science for the healing it promised.
