Testimonies of Healing

How thankful I am for the life and strength I have found...

From the February 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


How thankful I am for the life and strength I have found in Christian Science. When it knocked at the door of my home I was ready and waiting. I had been a sufferer for years; in fact, I never knew what it was to feel well. My physicians could not agree as to what ailed me. I began to feel that I had every disease that mortals could have.

About six years ago I began to take morphine. For three years I took it in my stomach, and the physicians said I could not live any longer that way, so they bought me a hypodermic syringe, which I used for three years.

I have used as many as two bottles of morphine a week, or eight bottles a month, at fifty and some at sixty five cents. I also had to buy new syringes which cost a dollar, and sometimes I would have to buy two or three needles a month at twenty-five cents each. How much less it costs to serve God than matter.
