Testimonies of Healing

I was called a few days ago to see a child who was given up to die by two physicians. The parents becoming very much alarmed, decided to try Christian Science, as a last resort.

As Christian Science has done so much for me, I have a longing to share my blessing with others. For more than forty years I have suffered greatly from lameness, and for sixteen years have been compelled to depend on crutches.

At the age of forty-nine I was a complete wreck, the victim of dyspepsia and chronic rheumatism. The last straw came when I was badly injured by the kick of a horse.

My uncle—seventy four years of age—has been spending some time with me. Before returning to his home, with his daughter, he expressed much regret that he should be obliged to lose the Bible lessons.

I want to proclaim to suffering humanity, and to those groping in darkness for the "Way," the fact that Christian Science has freed me from the bondage of invalidism, and restored my rightful heritage,—"the liberty of the children of God,"—and thereby has brought me joyous peace and bliss that language is insufficient to portray. During the last decade my case had baffled the skill of nine physicians, who differed somewhat in their diagnosis; but suffice it to say that paralysis of the bowels was the general verdict.

By the glorious light and understanding of Truth, as revealed to me through Christian Science, that "God is all, and there is none beside Him," I have been raised from death unto life. " Suffering intensely from tumor, my physicians told me my only chance was in a surgical operation, and I was taken to the hospital for that purpose.

Just after my class study a child, attempting to follow me upstairs, fell, struck his lip cutting it badly. His mother, grandmother, and sister, set about in the usual way to take care of him, but had only bathed the wound with water assuring themselves that it was cut clear through, when I reached the spot; his mother handed him over to me; he ceased crying at once, soon fell asleep in my arms, and was healed with the one treatment.

A short time ago I wrote to the Publisher of the Journal for the addresses of some who had been healed of the claim of "alcoholism. " I wrote, hoping to find help for a friend, and received my answer before the letter came urging that a copy of Science and Health be procured for him, as I was strongly impressed with that very thought while reading that Book.

What a glorious day this has been. I had some errands this morning that took me out, and to the Dispensary.

I am so thankful for the light that illumines the Bible through Science And Health. I have been a church member for more than thirty years, and tried to live a Christian life, but the light seemed very dim.
