Testimonies of Healing

I am very grateful for Christian Science; for my wife's healing; and for all the blessings brought to our home. — J.

Having read many helpful testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals, I should like to add mine in the hope of helping someone else. I had been ill for years, never entirely free from sickness and at times bedfast.

Over four years ago I started to study Christian Science in earnest, and it is with a heart full of gratitude that I give this testimony. During these years I have been healed of lack.

I am a carpenter. Thirty-two years ago, at the age of seventeen, a heavy ladder fell on my knee, straining the kneecap.

I wish to speak of the wondrous joy and comfort that came into my life through the study and application of Christian Science. My gratitude knows no bounds.

My first healing in Christian Science came while reading the Lesson-sermons to a lady. The healing was of what is known as granulated eyelids, a condition that had persisted from childhood.

It is with joy and a heart filled with gratitude that I wish to express my thankfulness for all the good received from Christian Science. This great truth was taught me when I was apparently in "the valley of the shadow of death.

After being for five years under the treatment of different physicians, who were only able to give me temporary relief, and that through the administration of morphine hypodermically, I came to California in 1917 to visit my son before he sailed for Europe to participate in the world war. I was supposed to return to the Middle West within three months, to undergo a serious abdominal operation.

I am glad to tell of a wonderful experience, a proof of God's protection, on a journey from Sweden to England by air. We started from Malmo in the morning, three Christian Scientists together, in an aeroplane for ten persons, via Hamburg and Amsterdam to Croydon near London, and the journey was expected to take eleven hours.
