Testimonies of Healing

In just acknowledgment of what Christian Science has...

From the January 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In just acknowledgment of what Christian Science has done for me, I submit the following for publication. I was healed of nervous prostration, catarrh of the stomach, and various other ills of several years standing. I had the very best medical skill, had tried all kinds of medicines, electricity, mineral waters, etc. Finally I went to an infirmary in Dallas, Tex., to be treated by a noted specialist. After returning home, not much benefited, I resolved that I would never take another dose of medicine.

Shortly afterward a friend wrote me of her being wonderfully healed through Science. I got "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and studied it five weeks, I then went to a practitioner, who treated me. I purchased Mrs. Eddy's works, and applied the teachings as best I could to my daily life. I gradually improved in health as I improved in thought, until I was finally healed, sound and well. While I was being healed I sent for the pastor of the Methodist Church of which I was a member, to have a talk with him on the subject of Christian Science, but met with so little encouragement that, as a result, I withdrew from the church and am now a member of the Mother Church, and hope soon to unite with a local church. I am a regular subscriber to the Journal, Sentinel, and Quarterly, and have had the privilege of class instruction from a loyal student, from which source I gained a much higher understanding, and have been enabled to help others.

If any should desire to know the particulars of my being healed. I will gladly give the information.
