Testimonies of Healing

From the May 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For five years my daughter was an invalid. The physicians said the cause was an overtaxed brain, which would lead to spinal trouble. During the last three months of her illness she was perfectly helpless. We purchased an invalid's chair that she might be moved from one room to another. While she was in that condition a friend told us of Christian Science; we knew nothing about it at that time, but as the physicians gave us no hope of her recovery, we decided to try it.

After taking the first treatment she could walk across the room; and when she had been treated two weeks was perfectly restored to health. Jesus said: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." Through her understanding of Christian Science, she is preaching the gospel, healing the sick, and raising the dead,— those who are dead in trespasses and sin.

After this demonstration of healing I felt a desire for freedom,— having a belief of nearsightedness, because of which I had worn glasses twenty years. After three weeks treatments, my sight was entirely restored. It is more than two years since I was healed, and I have never worn glasses since. Having studied Christian Science, I learned that through the understanding of Good, all inharmony and discord is destroyed.— ,
