Testimonies of Healing
I have never been so awakened to work more earnestly more consecratedly, for the Cause of Christian Science than I was this summer while attending the Communion service in the Mother Church. Our dear Leader's message is so comprehensive, that I am still studying it daily, and feel enriched by it each time.
Some time since I was asked to go to see a woman who needed help in Christian Science. She lived in a remote part of our city, a part with which I was unfamiliar and a very rough neighborhood.
Sincere gratitude impels me to write these lines in order that I may tell of some of the benefits which I have received through Christian Science. About three and a half years ago I was brought into this beautiful Truth, by being healed of a claim of two and one half years' standing, an illness which made my whole existence a misery and life scarcely worth living.
In just acknowledgment of what Christian Science has done for me, I submit the following for publication. I was healed of nervous prostration, catarrh of the stomach, and various other ills of several years standing.
It is now a little over six years since Christian Science was first brought to my notice by a kind friend who had been healed by it. I had been under the care of one of the best homoeopathic physicians in our city for two months, but was not benefited, rather growing worse.
" Leaning on the sustaining Infinite, to-day is big with blessings" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker G. Eddy).
I want to acknowledge what Christian Science has done for me. The spiritual healing I appreciate the most, for it is greater than all else.
Every word of testimony of the healing" and saving power of Truth, is productive of good results far beyond our expectations. Doubtless some very helpful testimonies are withheld, from the thought that they appear insignificant and of little value compared with the seemingly more wonderful demonstrations that are brought to our notice from time to time.
I Enclose a letter which a prisoner in our penitentiary desires to send to the Journal. We have a Christian Science Lesson-Sermon in the Colorado State Penitentiary, at Canon City, once a month.
I should be ungrateful not to add my testimony to that of thousands who have occasion to thank God every hour of their lives for the blessings which Christian Science has brought to them. About a year and a half ago I seemed to have exhausted all the resources of materia medica, electrical treatments for months having been my last resort along material lines.
