Testimonies of Healing
In the spring of 1914, while seeking the truth regarding life, I entered for the first time a Christian Science church. Little did I realize, as I passed through its portals, the joy, healing, and comfort that may come to all honest seekers of Truth.
In England about thirty years ago there was an epidemic of what was called Russian influenza. I caught the trouble, and nearly passed on.
Seventeen years ago I was in bondage to the flesh, having suffered many years from gallstones, Bright's disease, uremic poisoning, a bad heart, and bowel trouble. About a third of my time was spent in bed.
When Christian Science came to our home I was young enough to attend the Sunday school; and I shall always be grateful for this, as I feel sure the lessons learned there have helped me, perhaps oftener than I know, to stand firm during trials. Soon after coming into Christian Science I was healed in one night of a very bad sore throat.
Christian Science has been my only physician for over ten years; and during this period I have had many healings, two of which especially stand out as cause for much gratitude. The first was that of my eyes.
About four years ago a friend was healed of rheumatoid arthritis by Christian Science treatment. I had never heard of Christian Science before, and began to wonder if it could heal my little boy, who was nearly two years old and was suffering from what the doctors called fluid on the brain.
It is a joy and a privilege to bear witness to the healing power of Truth through our periodicals. Late one afternoon I was attacked by symptoms of the grippe.
When "roughing it" on a motor trip, several hundred miles from home, I was suddenly taken ill with an acute attack of dysentery. We were in a place where there were none of the ordinary comforts or conveniences, and I was the only one who knew how to drive the car.
When Christian Science came to me I was unhappy, confused, disillusioned. This was attributed to material conditions, but I now know that what I needed was the spiritual understanding of Life.
Filled with joy I express my profound gratitude to God, ever present Love, who led me to Christian Science, through which I have gained the true knowledge of Deity, and have been healed. After I had been a medical nurse in Germany for ten years, I was taken seriously ill, so that it was necessary for me to go to my home in Jugoslavia, near Belgrade.
