Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my deep gratitude for a wonderful healing which I experienced in Christian Science about six years ago of a very irritating cough accompanied by haemoptysis. Our family physician said he was unable to help further, but that someone else might be able to do so.

Each day brings deeper gratitude that I am living in the age of Christian Science. I first became interested in it over twelve years ago through the healing of my mother.

Twenty-nine years ago I was sick and discouraged. Doctors of different schools were unable to help me out of what they pronounced the last stages of Bright's disease.

The light of Christian Science came into our home at a time when the shadows seemed very dark. Our little daughter had been very ill for many weeks with tuberculosis, and one morning the kindly physician who had been attending her told me that he could no longer give me any hope; that the end was very near, and there was nothing more he could do.

Among so many I too cannot refrain from expressing my gratitude for the wonderful experiences which I, as well as my wife and child, have had in Christian Science. As a consequence of the war, in which I did active service, I suffered from pains in the right side of my chest.

I am indeed most thankful that God led me to find Christian Science. As a child, and during the early years of married life, I was never strong, and went through experiences of sickness and sorrow that brought me to believe there could not be a God.

In 1912, a friend from New York presented Christian Science to us. For two years, never a day had passed that I had not spent a portion of it on bended knees, pleading to God on behalf of my husband.

Like so many others, I turned to Christian Science only as a last resort. It was towards the end of the year 1910 that I first began to read the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and my first healing came simply through reading this book.

Christian Science came to the attention of my husband and myself about one month before he was taken with influenza, during an epidemic eleven years ago. He told me he did not want a physician, and asked me to call a Christian Science practitioner.

I came to Christian Science for healing at a time when I was about to take a trip to the Pacific Coast. Just a week before I was to start I came down with pleurisy, which had previously never yielded in less than three weeks under medical treatment.
