Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science , as taught by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, its Discoverer and Founder, has been my guide and help on numerous occasions for the last eighteen years. Gratitude records many healings, of which the following was outstanding in its quickness.

In gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, and to Mary Baker Eddy, I desire to tell of some of the good that has come to me through the study and application of the truths found in the Bible, and elucidated for humanity in the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. In the first year of earnest study and endeavor to practice these truths, I was healed of severe headaches, a bad cough, asthma, and constipation of years' standing, calling only once upon a practitioner for help.

In June, 1923, I was very ill, both physically and mentally. The doctors who attended me said that they could do nothing more for me; and I had given up all hope, thinking I had only a short time to live.

That Christian Science heals surgical cases, sets broken bones and dislocations, I know to be a fact. One evening I slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk, injuring an ankle to such an extent that I was unable to walk.

The first mention of Christian Science that I can recall was one of ridicule made by a little group of people ignorant of the subject. The Psalmist says, "Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee;" and this was indeed proved true in my case, for to test the justice of the remarks I promptly purchased a copy of Mrs.

I did not come to Christian Science because of any great physical need; for although I had ailments, none of them were continuously troublesome. But the uncertainty of happiness, the changeableness of friends, the mystery of life and death and the hereafter, all called for some solution.

I have had many beautiful proofs of the healing power of Christian Science. Constipation, ulcerated teeth, neuralgia, weak eyes which caused daily headaches, and ptomaine poisoning are some of the errors which have been destroyed.

This testimony is written to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me in the past fourteen years. Christian Science heals, and can heal quickly! My first healing was of gallstones, and was instantaneous.

Christian Science , which shows us most clearly that the real man is of divine origin, has enabled me to work my way step by step out of false conditions. As a child I was somnambulistic.

Christian Science came into my life eighteen years ago, after many years of searching for healing for my husband, who had been given up by sixteen physicians who claimed he had Bright's disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and valvular trouble of the heart. I felt that all material means had failed; and it was at this moment that I turned and called for help from a Christian Science practitioner in a near-by town.
