Testimonies of Healing

My heart goes out with a burning desire to help any...

From the November 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My heart goes out with a burning desire to help any who may be as I was, searching the weary, endless path of mortal speculation and opinion concerning the law underlying phenomena. I went through Darwin, E. P. Powel's "Our Heredity from God" and its sequel, "Liberty and Life," Hudson's "Law of Psychic Phenomena," "Mental Science," "Divine Science," Mental Suggestion, Theosophy, and Hypnotism. After about nine years of diligent search and research, I was still unsatisfied, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Still the hope, nay, the abiding confidence, remained within me, that God could and was willing to heal me could I but gain the understanding of what God is and my relation to Him through which the healing, or health could be made manifest. At this time death claimed one of our number; discouraged, heartsore, and broken in health, I sought a faithful student of Mrs. Eddy for counsel and advice (Science and Health being a sealed book to my misguided thought). Oh, how thankful I was, am, and ever shall be that she took me in and patiently, faithfully, and lovingly pointed the narrow path which leads "in the way everlasting" to the one great Source and Cause, the law, underlying all. If any who may read this are tempted to travel the long, laborious road over which I have passed, to find the divine birthright of man, viz: "dominion," let me say that while I thought I was "broad" in my search, the only true broadness is to stick closely to the rule until you understand the principle of it. The Bible with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," clung to, and studied, and understood, will reveal to the honest student the Truth which makes us free from all bondage, "Physical, moral, or spiritual."
