Testimonies of Healing

Extracts from a private letter

From the October 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I know you will rejoice with me, and be glad to hear of the good work following my sojourn in the Adirondack Mountains. I learned one very instructive and important lesson. Dear old uncle, to whom I sent Science and Health about two years ago, had gone almost blind after reading the Book through three times. The cause was plain enough. I found he had accepted it in blind faith, and was calling it "Faith Cure." I asked him why he did not call the healing Christian Science? He said, "Is it not the same thing?" After, or during, the class his sight returned so that he could write his name quite nicely.

Blind faith without the understanding that "There is no Life Substance or Intelligence in matter" must needs be made manifest.

The class numbered seven,— all relatives, uncle and six cousins. Next year I go again, and from the wonderful healings, others will be ready for teaching. A cancer in the mouth went in seven treatments; quite a large tumor in one treatment, and lesser "nothings" melted away "like dew before the morning sun."
