Testimonies of Healing

Among the thousands who have been healed through...

From the May 1908 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Among the thousands who have been healed through Christian Science, I rank as one of the most thankful. I am an electrician, and almost three years ago, while on duty one evening, I came in contact with forty-four hundred volts of electricity. I realized that I was beyond where any mortal could help me, and at that time I knew very little of Christian Science. I did know, however, that God is Life, and that all power is His. In the pain and agony I turned to God, acknowledging that He is All in all; and as I did this my hold was broken and I fell to the ground, receiving what seemed to be terrible injuries. A doctor was called by the company, but he said there was no help for me. I was taken to a hospital, where on ex amination the injuries were pronounced very severe. It was nearly seven hours before I regained consciousness, and in the mean time I had been put in a plaster cast. A few hours later my wife called at the hospital, then went to see a Christian Science practitioner, and I had absent treatment given me. The fifth day the cast was removed; the eleventh day I walked unassisted, on crutches, down a long flight of stairs to a cab, and was taken home. The seventeenth day I went back to work, perfectly healed in every way, although the doctor had claimed that if I lived at all I would be without any use of my limbs for the rest of my life.

For this wonderful healing I am very thankful to God. As for Mrs. Eddy, I know that God will reward her and also the Scientist who was so kind to me.
