Testimonies of Healing

After I had been instantaneously healed of a bad sore throat, I began studying Christian Science in earnest. About two weeks later I dropped a bucket of boiling water in such a way that it did not turn over, but splashed up, burning my face, right eye, and arm.

I feel the time has come for me to add my public testimony to the countless others since first Mrs. Eddy discovered the Science of Christian healing and made it demonstrable.

I am very grateful for the blessings which have come to me through the study and understanding of Christian Science. About five and a half years ago I was taken very ill and was unable to get up without assistance.

Over twenty years ago the testimony of the beautiful healing I received in Christian Science after years of complete or semi-invalidism appeared in The Christian Science Journal. Since that time I have been privileged to give many testimonies to the healing power of Truth in our Wednesday evening meetings; and now I should like again to express, through one of our periodicals, my heartfelt gratitude for all that Christian Science has done and is doing for me and for all mankind.

Out of gratitude for the wonderful healing of our four months' old granddaughter of infantile paralysis, through God's omnipotent goodness and the understanding of a Christian Science practitioner, I wish to give the following testimony. My son-inlaw, who was then opposed to Christian Science, called a doctor on a Monday.

Over fourteen years ago I went to California seeking medical help for rheumatism. For over a year I had been a great sufferer from this in my right arm.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I give this testimony of the blessings which came to my home through Christian Science about four years ago in the healing of my little son, then seven years old, of what the doctor called pneumonia in its worst form; also in the healing of grief for him and for me, as we had been left all alone about a month before this happened, with scarcely any means of material support. My boy awakened on a Thursday morning feeling ill.

Words are inadequate to express the debt of gratitude I owe for all the blessings and benefits bestowed upon me and mine by Christian Science. Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" ( p.

I should like to tell of some of the blessings that have come to me through the study of the Bible and of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and through treatment by Christian Science practitioners. Some of my earliest experiences were spells of sickness of various kinds, and weakness of the stomach and constipation, supposed to be inherited.

With gratitude for the wonderful demonstration of the healing of our baby through Christian Science, I give this testimony with the hope that some parent may read it and come to the understanding that all things are possible with God. I was in a distant city when notified by my wife that the baby appeared to be dying.
