Testimonies of Healing

About five years ago our baby manifested an aggravated condition of constipation which was very persistent, and each time it recurred it seemed harder to see its unreality.

I came to Christian Science about thirteen years ago when very unhappy, sick, and miserable. Since then we have had many beautiful proofs of God's tender love and care.

I wish to express my profound gratitude for Christian Science, and to enumerate some of the many blessings I have received through the application of divine Principle. My first healing in Christian Science occurred some twenty-two years ago.

All my life I had had to be doctored for various complaints, and had been in bondage to certain so-called health laws. From the first glimpse of Truth which I gained through the study of Christian Science, my life was completely changed.

Of the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to me, that of the healing of crippled hands means much every day. Having the fear of blindness removed, and being able to lay aside glasses, worn from about the age of fourteen years, while reading the first chapter of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, proved conclusively to me that Christian Science could give me the understanding of God for which I longed.

I should like to tell of the way I came into Christian Science. I called at church to take my wife home.
