Testimonies of Healing

Reading the many beautiful testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel prompted me to write a few lines from this field of labor, and thereby contribute to our periodicals. The work is growing here very nicely.

I am constantly receiving so much benefit from the Journal and Sentinel, that I should like to express a little of the gratitude I feel, by relating one little experience. One morning a young lady came hastily into the office where I am employed, and asked me to give her some help immediately to overcome a sense of extreme fear.

I would like to tell of some of the benefits that I have received from Christian Science in the past two years. Before coming into Science I had an abscess in the ear.

In reading the testimony of Harry J. Guppy in the Journal of July, 1901, I notice that he gives much prominence to the disappearing of the tobacco habit.

I take this opportunity to give to the Journal a demonstration that occurred in the Odd Fellows Home at Green Bay, Wis. I am a commercial traveler and called on the superintendent, Mr.

For some time, until about three years ago, I had been a constant sufferer from cramps in the bowels, frequent bilious attacks, and a sort of chest complaint, for which I went to the doctor for some months without any apparent help. Together with this state of things I became mentally very restless, hungering and thirsting for Truth; to know more of God and man's relation to Him.

In the summer of 1898 I began complaining of heart trouble, and not long after my stomach began troubling me. In August I was placed under the care of a physician with the hope that I might be built up and enabled to continue my work in the high school.

It was with considerable trepidation that I waited my first interview with a Christian Science practitioner. I had traveled five hundred miles for treatment for the liquor habit and to study Science, and that morning had omitted my customary bracer.

Since accepting Christian Science as my guide through life, I have often thought that my progress was slow; but when I compare the struggles for existence I had before I knew this beautiful Truth, with the life I have known since my acceptance, I think I have made a tremendous improvement. When Christian Science found me I was a very sorrowful, unhappy person, looking for peace and happiness.

While I was visiting some of my relatives during the past two months, one of them, a boy I had not seen for a long time, had a very violent claim. Being asked to take charge of the case, I enquired if he desired Christian Science treatment, and was told that he did.
