Testimonies of Healing

In loving recognition of what Christian Science is doing for all mankind, I give this testimony. My telephone rang one morning, and when I answered it a strange voice informed me that my daughter had drunk a glass of water in which a bichloride of mercury tablet had been dissolved.

I wish to express gratitude to God for giving to this age our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and author of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. " It was through reading this textbook that I was freed from faith in the power of matter to heal, having been a slave to drugs since early childhood.

It is with a desire to help others as I have been helped, that I give my testimony. Several years ago I had an opportunity to take up the study of Christian Science, but as I thought it dealt with mere human will, I did not give it any attention at the time.

Sixteen years ago I took up the study of Christian Science for physical healing after the family physician had told me I could not be well again unless I submitted to an operation. This I would not agree to; and through the advice of friends I turned to Christian Science for help.

In 1926, while on a visit to Hamburg, at a time when I was very much downcast, I first heard of Christian Science. A dear friend who had been very quickly healed of serious stomach trouble gave me a few copies of Der Herold , which I read with great interest.

In gratitude for all the blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life for more than fifteen years, I wish to add my testimony to those of the thousands who have found joy and freedom through the understanding of God and man as revealed through the consecrated, loving work of our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I came to Christian Science for physical healing, and after two weeks of treatment was freed from severe backaches, the aftermath of a surgical operation.

Before taking up the study of Christian Science, four years ago, I had been a great believer in specialists and dietitians for the care and feeding of children. Consequently, I had my three children placed in their care most of the time.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I write of a beautiful double healing that occurred at a Christian Science lecture. I was feeling very poorly that day myself, and was also much distressed about a condition of fever that had taken hold of my elder boy.

I wish to express my gratitude for all the good that has come to me through the study and application of Christian Science. I have been interested in this religion for many years, and during that time have depended solely on it to solve my every problem, and it has never failed.

With a heart full of gratitude I wish to relate my healing, through Christian Science, of internal cancer. This took place in April, 1922.
