Testimonies of Healing

I took up the study of Christian Science, because I found that no good came from materiality. I was healed of quinsy, from which I had suffered since childhood, also of constipation and a chronic state of stomach trouble.

About nineteen years ago Christian Science was brought to my attention by the healing of my wife through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, together with the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly. At that time she was suffering from a tubercular condition of the throat which medical science had failed to heal, and the last specialist had said it was incurable.

It is about eight years since Christian Science was brought to me quite unexpectedly by a dear cousin, at a time when I was practically a chronic invalid, due to the effects of an internal growth which caused me a great deal of pain and weariness. I had suffered from this for six or seven years, being under a physician for at least two years; yet the condition was gradually becoming worse, and it was at last decided that the only thing left to be tried was an operation.

" The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say. Destroy them," we read in Deuteronomy.

Christian Science was introduced into our home through the healing of my mother when, after years of invalidism, she was told by many physicians that she could not live. Christian Science completely healed her and restored her to years of usefulness.

In 1909, the star of the brightest hope I have ever known dawned upon my life. I heard of the healing of an artist in New York City who had been raised from chronic invalidism to radiant health by the application of Christian Science.

" Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. " With all my heart I am grateful to be privileged to testify to the blessings which this passage has brought me.

I first heard of Christian Science when I was about nine or ten years of age. My mother became interested about that time and later joined a Christian Science church; consequently I had Christian Science treatment for physical ills, and as I grew older occasionally attended the church and lectures.

When Christian Science came to my notice I was suffering intensely from double curvature of the spine, internal paralysis, and other complications, the result of injuries received several years previously. Specialists of homeopathy allopathy, and osteopathy had treated me, but with no beneficial result.

Christian Science is the greatest blessing that has come into my life. I have proved it to be truly a "pearl of great price.
