Testimonies of Healing

To the glory of God, and with the hope that it may help...

From the November 1911 issue of The Christian Science Journal


To the glory of God, and with the hope that it may help others who are weary and heavy laden, I gladly testify to the blessings I have received from Christian Science. During the summer of 1908, after many years of anxiety and various illnesses, my health completely broke down, and general debility, heart trouble, and nervous collapse found me utterly helpless and hopeless and praying that death would end my suffering. For months I honestly followed the advice of several doctors and specialists, who did all in their power to help me, but I got no better; medicine had entirely failed, and as the strongest drugs could not induce sleep, my life was a living nightmare. The last specialist who saw me told me candidly that he could do nothing for me.

Like many others, when all earthly hope had gone I turned to Christian Science, and to Him "who healeth all thy diseases." With the help and unceasing kindness of a Christian Scientist, I struggled on, earnestly seeking that blessed truth which should make me free. For years I had been restricted to the lightest of food, but in a few weeks I was enjoying everything that came along and without the slightest inconvenience; sleep came naturally and peacefully, and was followed by confidence, health, and strength, and the unreal burden I had carried about so long was cast aside.

Can any wonder why I am still seeking to know more of that wondrous power that has brought me peace instead of pain, given me life instead of death, and light instead of darkness? It is indeed with gratitude that I look up to God, and bless Mrs. Eddy for the wonderful truth she has given to this age. —
