Testimonies of Healing

From the August 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


According to mortal belief, I never had the gift of expressing my thoughts; but through the understanding of Christian Science we learn that we are Spiritual, and are "governed by divine Intelligence; that our Father guides His children to do all things right. The more we realize of this grand Truth, the more we see the nothingness of mortal belief.

I have not known of Christian Science long, but what I do understand I would not part with for worlds, for nothing else can give such peace and happiness. Have had many wonderful and beautiful demonstrations.

A few days ago, a gentleman, who lives quite a distance from here, called to see us. Soon after he came, he said he was in great pain, and had been much of the time for years. I asked him if he had ever tried Christian Science. He said, "I have never heard of it; what is it?" I handed him Science and Health, telling him that many people were healed by reading and following the teaching of that Book. He said, "I have never learned to read, and have but a short time to stay, but wish you would read to me a few moments." After I had read a little while, he said, "That is a good book! If you please, I would like to hear you read awhile longer." After listening an hour or two, he said, "That is a wonderful book! the pain has all left me."
