Testimonies of Healing

From the April 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A patient, after being under treatment a little over a week, for claim of paralysis (from the result of which she was unable to walk, except with support, and then, but a few steps), was able—after listening to, and hearing the healing voice of Truth expressed in the lesson of March 1st—to not only walk down stairs, but all the way home—a distance of eight blocks—saying, "What a revelation that lesson was to me." She had never seen Science and Health until she called for help. Taking one of of the new Books, she remarked, "I will follow your advice, and buy it; but the stroke took away my education, and I cannot read." Yet, she does read in this new Book, and understands it as though she had been familiar with all of its expressions. Truly, it is the Word of Life, and "all who run may read." If I ever doubted before "the power of thought back of the words," this one instance of the healing and teaching power of Truth contained in every page of the new Science and Health dispells any illusion on that point; and I know that every Book that finds a welcome in any home, will carry healing and teaching to all who are calling for help through Divine Science. This Book not only preaches the Gospel, but heals the sick.—Toledo, O.
