Testimonies of Healing

After all the healings and blessings...

From the January 1935 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After all the healings and blessings which have come my way through Christian Science, some through my small understanding, others through a practitioner's help, I feel it my privilege to acknowledge some of them. After the passing on of a small daughter in 1912, kind neighbors advised me to send for the German translation of Science and Health. After learning enough of the English I started to study the Lesson Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly, and received help.

One day one little girl caught a finger in a door which the wind had blown shut. After hearing her scream and seeing the finger, I wrapped it up, repeated the Lord's Prayer over and over, and carried her to a neighbor's, where I meant to get help; but before we got there the condition was healed. Another child was helped in working out her arithmetic problems. In 1918, during the so-called influenza epidemic, two members of the family were wonderfully and quickly healed and the rest protected from the disease.

In 1926 I had a healing after being thrown from a haystack. The pain seemed more than I could bear. After one treatment I got relief, and in a week I was able to attend to all household duties. While the last two confinement cases were not painless, I felt so well immediately afterward that I did not stay in bed for even one meal, and after the last case I did much housework right away, and attended to all my work from the third day on. At the recent sudden passing on of a dear one I felt thankful for the love and help received through Christian Science. I am grateful also for membership in The Mother Church and a Christian Science Society, and especially for our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and all the activities of the Christian Science organization.—
