Testimonies of Healing

Dear Readers: I do not like to speak...

From the August 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Readers: I do not like to speak of my cases, but so much is said that I will submit one or two for the encouragement of doubters. A case of chronic dysentery I healed in three treatments. Another, who had not stepped her right heel on the floor for seven years, walked three miles after the fourth treatment, and went home entirely cured. I saw a poor insane woman four times, and treated her against her own wishes. She thanks God for reason restored by the application of His word through my humble instrumentality. A severe case of constipation of many years' standing was cured in three treatments. A child in great pain from eating unripe fruit I relieved almost instantly. Another child in convulsions of agony from some unknown cause, I was able to put into peaceful sleep within ten minutes after I entered her presence. Children make admirable scientists. One darling little fellow said he "minded" his coachman who had cholera morbus, and he stopped groaning right off." The child understood the good presence of God as omnipotent to save from evil. He trusted the promise, "Call thou upon me in the day of adversity, and I will deliver thee."
