Testimonies of Healing

I was not led into Christian Science by any healing, but...

From the October 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I was not led into Christian Science by any healing, but because it appealed to me as something most beautiful if I could but grasp it. I have since been learning to grasp and abide in its wondrous truths.

I have had many beautiful demonstrations, but I will only present a simple one of recent date.

I caught my finger in the cog wheels of the wringer when washing. As another was turning, it was caught quite firmly, and required a mighty effort to wrench it away. In doing so the pressure burst the finger open.

I kept right on at work, silently declaring the Truth that all was infinite Mind and its manifestation. The awful sense of pain was followed by numbness, and then all error was dismissed. Then fearlessly looking at the finger I found only a small red spot over which the skin was soon forming.

In the old thought it would have laid me up many days with much suffering. With gratitude unfeigned I give thanks for the old story in its grand new tongue.
