Testimonies of Healing
I take pleasure in adding my testimony to that of others who have been healed by Christian Science. I had suffered for years with my eyes, and had long been compelled to wear glasses.
My very dear Teacher : At one time I had a great feeling of reticence in respect to reporting cases of healing; but as the Truth grows upon my apprehension, I feel it to be a duty to magnify God's holy name, and to declare His wonderful works,— lest, shamed by our silence, the stones cry out. About the time our last class closed, one of the students, passing a house on her way home, heard, on more than one occasion, cries of pain, which attracted the attention of others as well as herself.
I must tell you about my first case in obstetrics. A lady at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, sent me a despatch, asking me to treat her daughter.

My dear Teacher : I must tell you of some demonstrations I have had lately, which I know you will be glad to hear. A lady from Philadelphia, who has been blind and deaf for thirty years, can now thread a needle, and is improving in many ways.

Dear Journal : I wish to write a few lines for the benefit of the sick and suffering, and to let all know what Christian Science has done for me. I have been an invalid for eight years, and have suffered untold misery.
My dear Teacher : Thinking it may be of interest to you to know something of my first work in Christian Science, I describe one or two demonstrations. A little child of one of our neighbors was taken strangely ill, a few mornings since.
Dear Mrs. Ingalls : I take pleasure in acknowledging myself cured of Bright's Disease.
