Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has been so much to me the past...

From the June 1911 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science has been so much to me the past two years, that I hardly know how to begin to express my gratitude for the many blessings I have received. I was healed over nine years ago of lung trouble, with complications of kidney disease and rheumatism. The lung trouble was so serious that I was given up, as there was no help for me in materia medica, although I had the most eminent doctors that were available. My suffering was intense. I had a severe cough night and day, with much pain, and it must have been a source of great annoyance to my dear friends, though no one made a complaint.

I was healed instantaneously by a Christian Scientist, a friend of mine, who spoke with authority the "Peace, be still," of Love and Truth, and I was made whole. I have not coughed from that hour. My family thought it very strange that I did not cough any more, as all feared the end was to be soon. I was not then in Science and did not know what it was, but I am very thankful to God, and deeply grateful to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for the divine precepts given for her followers, which enable them to live the truth. I did not then understand what Love and Life meant, but I was awakened, like Lazarus, from sleep. I thank God for the divine manifestation, for divine Love, and for my dear Christian Science friends, who helped me to gain the knowledge of divine Love that I never knew before. May I live to be a true Scientist.
