Testimonies of Healing

Shannon, Ill. Dear Journal:— I feel it my duty, as well as...

From the April 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Journal:— I feel it my duty, as well as a privilege, to tell to the world the wonderful work done for me by Christian Science in healing me so miraculously. I was afflicted for the last four years, and the last two years my suffering was unendurable at times. I consulted six physicians but got no relief. I had heart disease, liver and kidneys were affected, also female weakness, and took medicine for my bowels every day. I lay entirely helpless for six weeks in the last two years. Finally, I was taken to a doctor from Chicago, who told me he could do nothing for me, unless I could go to Chicago, to a hospital for surgical operation. At this time a kind lady told me of Christian Science Mind Healing. As it was new to us my husband was not willing to have me try it. Then the lady sent me that grand book, Science and Health. I had great faith in it, for I believed all things to be possible with God, and was longing for something better. I was finally carried to the house of a Scientist and laid on a couch. After taking my first treatment I felt better, and got up and ate quite a dinner. The third day the pain all left me, and I could sit up all day, sleep all night, and eat as I had not done for months. With one week's treatments I went home perfectly well. O, how can I thank my God enough for this wonderful demonstration of this blessed Truth, which has enabled me to put off the old man, with all his deeds, and put on the new. I write, talk, and work all I can for the great Truth which has again been brought to light. I wish God's choicest blessings on the dear ones who are in this glorious work. I feel to give myself into the Father's hands if He can use me in any way, as an instrument in doing good.
