Testimonies of Healing

I take this opportunity to give to the Journal a demonstration...

From the November 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I take this opportunity to give to the Journal a demonstration that occurred in the Odd Fellows Home at Green Bay, Wis. I am a commercial traveler and called on the superintendent, Mr. L., a fraternal brother, socially as well as on business. I met some of the inmates in the yard and greeted them in a fraternal way. One of them took me to the superintendent, who I found had been unable to walk without crutches for a long time.

I transacted my business and was about to leave, remarking I hoped to find him fully recovered on my next visit. He replied, "You will; but no thanks to the five doctors that have been treating me. They have done me no good." I said, "Perhaps you are ready to try something else." "I am, my brother," he replied, "and I am trying what you have in mind. I knew you were a Scientist before you talked ten minutes, and I am being treated absently. I am improving fast."

I said, "Let me see how fast; let us walk out under those apple-trees." He immediately arose with but little effort and with only a cane walked two hundred feet, something he had not done in months. The old Odd Fellows looked on in wonder.
