Testimonies of Healing

From the February 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I feel it my duty, as well as my privilege, to tell what Christian Science has done for me. I had been an invalid for over seventeen years, had passed through one operation, and was told I must pass through another before I could be well, but the operation did not make me well. Was some better for a short time, but soon got worse than ever. I was also a great sufferer from neuralgia. This is how I was when Christian Science was introduced to me. I had been out of the House but twice in three months. My doctor was doing all he knew how to do, but could not stop the pain.

I was very much discouraged when my kind neighbor came in to see me and asked if I would not like to try Christian Science. I told her I did not understand it, but she asked me to see a healer and have a talk with her. I did so, and was so pleased with the Scientist that I stepped the medicine, went to her office, and placed the case in her hands. When I went to her office I was still suffering with the pain in my face, but she spoke very kindly to me and gave me hope. I left her and walked two squares to take the car. When I got in the car I felt I was better, but thought it would come back. But it never has, and the next day I knew I was healed of all my pains. I have positive proof that I am a well woman, thanks be to God and Christian Science for bringing me out of such misery. It is helping all my family as well. I write this hoping that some poor soul will take courage and come and be helped, as I was.
