Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has brought so many blessings to our home that it is impossible to write of all of them in one testimony. I should like to tell of a few of the more recent ones, however, with the hope that our experiences may help others.

Having been taught in the Sunday school of a so-called orthodox church, with which I had united when a child, I loved the Bible and desired to live a Christian life. In this Sunday school I asked my teacher, who was a consecrated Christian, why we did not have spiritual healing as with Jesus and his apostles.

It is impossible for me to express in words the gratitude I owe to God for leading me to find Christian Science, through which we have already experienced so many blessings. For years I was afflicted with an intestinal complaint, which became so severe that I could no longer attend to my household duties alone.

" Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind," writes Paul in Romans. Christian Science is literally transforming my life, bringing into it health, strength, joy, supply, activity, and freedom.

One cannot be too grateful to God for the Christ, Truth, as revealed to this day and age through Christian Science. Some years ago, as the result of listening to the arguments of mortal mind, which promised ease in matter, I was led to make certain changes in a business way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

" 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.
