Testimonies of Healing

I have long felt a desire to tell the dear suffering ones everywhere what Christian Science has done for me, but have been held back by the thought that I could not express myself. I can find words to tell of my physical healing and something of the joy and peace that has come to me through this blessed Truth, but the love and gratitude I feel to God must find expression in deeds.

When we consider what Truth has done and is doing for humanity, how small is the sacrifice and how great should be the pleasure for us to contribute our mite for the encouragement of others.

For a period of eight years I had been in the most wretched health, last winter suffering from enlargement of the liver with all its attendant ills.

I will relate the healing by Christian Science of two persons of defective eyesight; the first, a youth eighteen years of age, whose parents, when he was nine years old, were advised by their family physician to have him wear glasses as a relief for nearsighledness and headaches. From that time until a little more than a year ago, the oculist, his parents, and he considered it imperative for him to use glasses constantly, changing the focus from time to time as his advancing years seemed to render it necessary.
