Testimonies of Healing

For many years I had been an invalid; and, from an injury to the knee, used crutches eight years. Later on, a fall crippled the well limb, rendering me perfectly helpless, through loss of nerve power, caused by neuralgia of the optic nerve, I was unable to use my eyes for sixteen years.

A gentleman who came to me for treatments, was unable to attend to business; had been treated by the M. D.

A Christian Scientist some time since came here on a visit, and a neighbor of mine sent for her. This lady has been bed-fast for ten years; has been in the best hospitals and otherwise under the care of most celebrated physicians; and has been operated upon six times—all without benefit.

Thank God, our Father, that through Christian Science my husband and I have been lifted out of the narrow channel of human conception, up to the higher ocean of His Love, and Life which never dies! For twelve years, my husband had suffered intensely with belief of malignant cancer. All our means (?) were consumed by the best physicians and surgeons, who did him no good.

I write again, as you wished, to inform you how I am getting on. I certainly feel better; can walk better, and am steadily improving.

When I left you, I quit the sinful habit for about a week. After that, I indulged worse than ever, until I suffered enough in mortal belief and thoughts to make me willing to leave all for Truth, Christ.

I was called upon, a short time ago, to demonstrate the Truth, in a case where the patient was delirious most of the time, with other aggravated symptoms. For several days I tried faithfully to realize and demonstrate the Truth of Being, but with no apparent success.

The Scriptures declare that God's ways are higher than man's; then His method of healing also must he higher, God's medicine is Mind. Spirits, drugs, material means are man made.

I have just been reading in the Journal asking us all to do our part. It is now nearly one year since I was led to hear this glorious Truth, and I would not lose the peace of mind it has given me for all the money in the world.

"Truth makes a new creation. " Christian healing rightly understood is "the transforming by the renewing of the mind " as Paul expresses it.
