Testimonies of Healing
When first I became interested in Christian Science there was quite a sense of discouragement and doubt as to my progress.

In January, 1915, our small son was taken ill with tonsillitis and earache, and was in such pain that I was up with him for ten days and nights. Soon after this the gathering in his ears broke, and he was left so deaf he could only hear loud shouting.

I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing; nevertheless, I needed the healing touch which only Christian Science gives, and after taking up the study in earnest I found I was more harmonious in every way. My heart is filled with gratitude to God and also to Mrs.
