Testimonies of Healing

MORAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING

From the November 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I feel it to be my duty to tell you what this glorious Science has done for my parents. One year ago last February my father was healed, in five days, of a belief in chronic piles and rheumatism, which he had had for twenty-five years. He was also a great skeptic, a disbeliever in God, and very immoral, beside being a great user of tobacco. He was told, by Mr. G. E. Lacy, that he could be healed, and that faith was not a requisite; to which father answered, that he was the biggest crank there was in Buffalo. He concluded, the next day, to try Christian Science, and told Mr. Lacy that he would prove him a liar, and a big one, too. When father felt the change, he went up like a man, and acknowledged that he had proved himself the liar. He never used to speak a pleasant word to his family, from one year's end to another; but after he was healed his tongue was loosed, and he spake as never before. He became interested to understand the Principle that would always protect him, and he and I studied alone, with the only Scientist in the place.

Father also made mother go and be healed. She was made whole in five days, of a belief in varicose veins, and a female weakness of twenty-five years standing, and neither father nor mother has had a belief of fatigue since the treatments.

Father does not use tobacco; and, if he could have his way, would like to take a club and pound this Truth into everyone.
