Testimonies of Healing

My first knowledge of Christian Science came about two years ago, through a friend who was healed by the treatment. She explained the truths to me whenever we met, and I gladly listened, as I had for years been a sufferer.

I had an experience with a student whose knowledge of Christian Science had become a burden to her, in this way: She was "by nature" a person whose convictions on all points were vivid in the extreme, and who on entering into Science was instantly an extremist in that. She became morbid to such a degree she did not dare to admire her two beautiful children.

Two years ago a valuable carriage horse was rendered utterly useless by a "blood spavin"; which I believe is considered incurable. I tried to give him away; but could find no one, likely to be kind to him, who was willing to take him.

" One year ago I looked upon the founder of Christian Science as one of the "false Christs" spoken of in the Gospel of Matthew. As I had for many years endeavored to live a Christian life, I thought it a sin to think of changing my sentiments.

Please find enclosed a few words of thanksgiving from a dear lady patient of mine who is now a student. I commenced a class the Monday after my return from the Normal, and she was one of my invited guests; having no riches but good thoughts.

Last April, one of my neighbors came to us for a few days' sojourn. I had preached the Truth to him occasionally, but he did not seem to be interested.

A little over two years ago, while living in Pittsburgh, my wife and I had Christian Science brought to our attention. We were at once interested, and bought a copy of Science and Health.

Dear Journal : — It is impossible for me to keep still any longer. In 1885, when I had not known a well day in five years, Science and Health was placed in my hands by a dear lady who insisted upon my reading it; saying she believed it would heal me.

I began work here about three weeks since, and the people are becoming quite interested in Christian Science. One of my patients was a little boy with skull fractured by kick of a horse.

When I first heard of Christian Science I was very sick in belief. The doctors said one lung was wholly ossified; that my heart was in such condition I was liable to die any moment; and that I besides, had other troubles that required surgical operation, without which I should never be able to stand or walk.
