Testimonies of Healing

For three years I had suffered from a belief of bronchial consumption. I coughed nearly all the time, and could not lie down at night.

I was not led into Christian Science by any healing, but because it appealed to me as something most beautiful if I could but grasp it. I have since been learning to grasp and abide in its wondrous truths.

On the back porch of our home stands a printed sign bearing the inscription: "No more dumping on these grounds. " It is waiting to be placed on a section of our land which has been used for that purpose.

One Fourth of July there came a call for help from a lady, whose brother and companion had met with an accident caused by an explosion of gunpowder. I immediately declared the Truth and went with her to her home.

Two years ago, Christian Science found me a mental and physical wreck. I feel I must let the whole world know of my healing,—how from a sick and depressed woman, I have been changed into a happy and thoughtful one.

This morning. May 2, 1901, is the second anniversary of my new birth, the birth Jesus meant when he said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again," and I feel it is a very fitting time to acknowledge the "Christ Science" into which I was born as the Truth.

For nearly eight years I have been receiving great benefits from my little understanding of Christian Science, and although my heart has gone out many times to our dear Leader for the spiritual uplifting and unspeakable peace I am continually obtaining through the study of her works, I feel that I owe much to our Sentinel and Journal. Every time they reach me I receive much help in reading them, and I feel more and more the necessity of keeping them in circulation.

When quite a child, I often thought over the second record of Creation in Genesis, and wondered how, if God were all-powerful, evil ever crept into existence. I could not become interested in the Scriptures, and think this must have been my stumbling-block.

When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow.
