Testimonies of Healing

I wish to relate briefly what God,...

From the March 1914 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I wish to relate briefly what God, through Christian Science, has done for me. Up to two years ago, when I appealed to Christian Science, I had been troubled for about eight years with sleeplessness, stomach and liver troubles, also nervousness. I would go as many as three or four nights without sleep, and on one occasion seven nights, until I was in a very bad condition. I was treated by some of the leading physicians of Chicago and Detroit, also tried electricity and other methods, went to the seashore to gain my health, but all was of no avail. I steadily grew worse, until I expected to lose my mind or die.

Then it was that man's extremity was proved to be God's opportunity, and through the kind instructions and prayers of a Christian Science practitioner I was healed in about one week. My delight may be imagined, after all those years of misery, to see the light of Truth and to know of God's goodness. The Bible had been a closed book to me, but now never a day passes without my reading from one to three hours in it, and I know I am a better man in every respect. I hope to be worthy in the near future to be called a Christian Scientist. I am thankful to God for His many blessings, and grateful to Mrs. Eddy for having shown us the way.—
