Testimonies of Healing

Several years ago, just as I had taken up the study of Christian Science, we moved into the jail residence, Mr. M.

It was two years last August that I first heard anything good of Christian Science, but I am thankful every day,—yes, every hour,—that I have been led to this blessed Truth. At that time my sister had been suffering with a fibrous tumor for over two years, and the only hope the doctors held out was an operation which she felt she would not survive.

In January, 1894, I first heard of Christian Science. I took a few treatments and was much benefited.

I had been sick from childhood, and for eighteen years had suffered more than tongue can tell. My case seemed rather slow of healing, although I received help from the first, and I am sure I needed this slow and steady growth.

Christian Science was first brought to my notice about three years ago. It found me a confirmed invalid, having been under the doctor's care more or less for twenty years.

My gratitude for Christian Science and to our Leader, Mary Baker G. Eddy, is unbounded.

A little more than two years ago I was, according to my own belief and the declaration of doctors, an incurable invalid. A lengthened siege of lung and throat affection, insomnia, loss of appetite, a cough that shook me to the foundation, and other bodily ailments developed into what medical testimony designated organic heart disease.

Since coming into Christian Science, our experiences have been varied, and many demonstrations, physical, mental, and financial, have been made, teaching us when Christianly and scientifically applied, that "one with God is a majority," because one with Good, which is all-powerful, cannot fail. Every sincere desire, prayerfully laid before our heavenly Father, asking for guidance, wisdom, and grace, is answered with signs following, if we are living in obedience to Love, watching every thought when alone, careful when in business to be reliable in word and deed, and in society overcoming selfishness, envy, and jealousy.

Dear Brother in Truth: —I thought I would write you a few lines to let you know that I am still doing God's work. I send you a statement of one of my patients that you can send to the Journal, and I will send you some more of them.

I send the following copy of a letter, which is one of many received from this same earnest worker in Christ's cause. She is a half-breed Indian.
