Testimonies of Healing

Editor Christian Science Journal: When I came to Terre Haute...

From the May 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Editor Christian Science Journal: When I came to Terre Haute in October last, I was pronounced by every one who saw me, in the last stages of consumption. I could not rest day or night without something in the way of medicine. I tried everything, but received only temporary relief until I met a Christian Scientist. Not thinking for a moment that he could do me any good, I called in his room merely to see if I could understand the principle of his teaching. From his expositions of the Scripture to me, I got some light from him, and felt a change such as I had never felt in my life. Now I feel like a new being. I have no cough, no pain, take no cold from change of rooms and bed, as I formerly did, can eat anything without a thought of any bad result, and can attend to any business that comes up for me to do. I have not felt so well for ten years. Physicians in Chicago who treated me in the spring said I could not live all winter unless I went into a warmer climate, and I can give the names of many reliable people of this city who knew of my condition and said I could live but a short time. I have taken no remedies since meeting the Scientist, though I listened at first to his teachings without any faith that I could be in any way benefited, as I thought I was beyond cure.

I will be glad to answer any questions, and to give the name of the professor of the medical college in Chicago, who has attended me for two years. I make this statement, hoping that some one who reads it will take courage and feel that there is a cure for all through Christ Jesus.—
