Testimonies of Healing

I am not a Christian Scientist for...

From the November 1913 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I am not a Christian Scientist for the reason that at present I do not understand the Science well enough to be one, but when a demonstration is made such as I have had, I feel that it would be wrong to keep silent. I have a very dear little granddaughter, and when she was thirteen months old she was suddenly stricken with paralysis from her waist down. In a short time a severe attack of rheumatism set in, and I took the child to our family physician, also to a specialist, both of whom told me the same thing, — that there was absolutely no help for her, that it was a case of infantile paralysis, and that medicine would do her no good, also that she would probably never have the use of her limbs again.

Well, I went home, and all night I fretted and worried over what to do; but when morning came, I went to a dear friend who is a Christian Scientist, and told her I had decided to put my baby granddaughter under Christian Science care. My friend named a practitioner, and I took the baby to her at once, to be treated. After two weeks' treatment the child was back in her baby-walker, and in two months she was running and walking alone.

The little one is now three years old, and is a perfectly healthy child, and we depend absolutely upon the power of Truth, God, as revealed through Christian Science.—Mrs
