Testimonies of Healing

Six years ago, when prostrate and in mental darkness from oft-repeated attacks of nervous prostration, a dear friend came, suggesting I should try Christian Science. Believing I had found a material remedy (which proved to be an instrument of torture, and for which I had paid the price of our invaluable text-book), I concluded to wait, and suffer more.

I have been encouraged so many times by reading the Journal and Sentinel, I feel it my duty to try to help some one. I suffered much all my life with headache.

Christian Science has done so much for me that I hardly know where to begin. For eight years I was a great sufferer from bronchial asthma and was unable to lie down during that time.

Christian Science has indeed been a blessing to our home, in lifting me from disease and sorrow, and it has been an invaluable help in the training of our child. One incident I would like to relate, proving that a little child may understand Truth that sometimes is beyond the comprehension of older ones.

I did not come to Christian Science as many I have read of. I accepted it because I thought it was right.

I would like to speak of a case of impersonal healing, which came about during the first year of my study of Science and Health. I had, since the age of twelve, been a great sufferer from asthma and other bronchial troubles; had visited various watering places abroad in search of health, had also tried different medical treatments in Germany and England, but the complaint did not disappear, and was finally accepted as a chronic condition.

In January, 1892, I was living in St. John, N.

Here is a little demonstration made by a child which I thought other children might enjoy, so I send it, knowing it must carry a blessing with it. A few nights ago my little seven-year-old grandson, who lives with me, seemed restless and excitedly talked in his sleep, as though in great trouble and uneasiness.

I send this demonstration because I think it shows plainly that Christian Science is practical. I had been keeping appointments at the dentist's for some time, and among other things that were to be done was a tooth taken out which I had known for several years must be extracted, but had never had the courage to have it done.

In November, 1897, I first heard of Christian Science. The judgment of death had been pronounced over me by several of our best doctors.
