Testimonies of Healing

From the October 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is now over four years since I was first led to investigate Christian Science, and though I have no great demonstrations to relate. I should still like to express my gratitude for the many blessings it has brought me, also to thank Mrs. Eddy and all those who have so often helped me through the pages of the Journal and Sentinel.

But though I did not come for physical healing, I have nevertheless experienced it, for I can say this, that during the past three and a half years I have never been confined to my bed, or even to the house on any occasion, neither have I ever missed an engagement. whereas formerly I used frequently to be kept in bed and in the house for days at a time, owing to severe bronchial and asthmatic attacks. I have certainly had these same conditions to meet on many occasions, but they have always yielded to Christian Science treatment, and that speedily. I often think that if people only knew the wonderful freedom which Christian Science gives, they would be more ready to give it a trial, even from selfish motives. So completely does this new thought revolutionize one's ideas that I find it difficult to realize there was a time when I lived in fear of climate, of food, of fatigue, etc. In addition to these benefits.

I have been greatly helped by the fact that my husband took up the study of Christian Science at the same time that I did, and it is now our greatest pleasure to strive so to present its truths to others, that they also may desire to come to the Tree of Life, whose leaves are "for the healing of the nations."—
