Testimonies of Healing

Having had a most wonderful...

From the October 1920 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Having had a most wonderful healing, I feel it a joy to tell it to others. A few months ago I fell and dislocated my left shoulder and broke the large bone of the arm. From the time I fell I tried to cling to the truth, and a friend who most opportunely picked me up was able to replace the shoulder. It being late at night there was little to be done, and I sat in an armchair by the fire until morning. Needless to say there was suffering. I wired to a practitioner for help, which was immediately given. The arm was quite helpless, swollen, and discolored. After the first treatment I could lift my hand and had very little pain. I never had on a splint nor had I to stay in bed one day. In two weeks I was out and about, doing most of my usual duties. So many people were doubting my ever having had a serious accident (as in the ordinary way the recovery takes many months) that I decided to go to one of our leading hospitals, have an examination and the X rays used. I have the doctor's written diagnosis to the effect that there had been an "impacted fracture of the humerus arm bone," but that it required nothing done to it as it was already set.

I must add that a year ago I was healed in one treatment of an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs and from that moment have had no return of it. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy for the many blessings received through Christian Science, also for the help of the loving and kind practitioner.—
