Testimonies of Healing

I wish to bear testimony to the healing power of Truth

From the November 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I wish to bear testimony to the healing power of Truth. For years I was not strong, but since last January I have been a great invalid, and my life was despaired of by my physicians. They told me I had heart-disease in its worst form, and that my heart was turning to bone. Many other ills made my life wretched. I was so nervous I would shake as with ague. For months I was unable to do anything because of great weakness.

On the 8th of July I met a Christian Scientist at my son's home. She gave me some tracts, and talked with me about Christian Science. I asked her to treat me, and before I left the room I felt a great change for the better. This was about noon. I went to the table and ate a hearty dinner, then rode three miles directly after. The same afternoon I baked bread, cake, and pies, and swept the house, consisting of eight rooms. The following day I did a small washing, and in the afternoon walked half a mile to see a friend, and walked back.

My family and neighbors think my healing is wonderful, but I tell them it is from God. Thanks be to God, and to Christian Science, I am well and happy—such happiness as the world can neither give nor take away. To-day I am a well woman.—
