Testimonies of Healing

It was not through physical healing that I was first...

From the December 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It was not through physical healing that I was first attracted to Christian Science, but because I was looking for a better understanding of God. The first case of healing that came under my notice was that of my little granddaughter, of diphtheria. I had not much experience in the work at that time, so I sent for another student who was older in Science, to help me with the case. Within twenty-four hours the child was healed. Another case of the same trouble was a child whom two doctors had been treating and had told the mother that the only chance to save the child was by putting a tube in its throat. The mother did not wish to do that and called me in. I took charge of the little one. She had been in a stupor for twenty-four hours. After treatment she awakened in a short time, and took nourishment, went to sleep again, from which she awakened bright and well, and needed no more help. In a short time three more of the same family were taken down with the same trouble and were also healed by Christian Science treatment.

My son was taken ill with every symptom of typhoid fever, and was healed by Christian Science treatment in a very short time.

I feel that I cannot be too grateful for the revelation of Christian Science through our dear Leader, Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy.—
