Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

These healings are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over 125 years.

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.

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.

" 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.

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.

I was an invalid for several years:—heart and other diseases, too many to mention, troubled me, and the physicians did me no good. Since I was healed in Christian Science, and am able to do my work, I know I have indeed found the only way through Christ to God.

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.
