Testimonies of Healing

As it may encourage some other...

From the August 1913 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As it may encourage some other struggling patient, I will say that after the birth of my third child I was mentally and physically so ill that the doctor who attended me insisted upon my going to a sanitarium in the middle of winter. Instead, I went to relatives, but got worse. In my extremity I wrote to my dear sister, who is a Christian Scientist in London, and she came to me at once and gave me treatment. We read together "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and I learned to understand that our loving heavenly Father did not send me sickness. Very soon my sleep came back, I could eat without suffering, and I felt spiritually uplifted. I am thankful to God that I was allowed to return to my family well and happy, and ever since I have tried to bring my children and friends, in their turn, to the knowledge that our God is a present help in time of trouble. I trust I shall be able to be of assistance to some other discouraged mother by this testimony.—
