Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science because of the many physical healings it has brought to me, and also because of the wonderful sustaining power it has given me in many kinds of problems, proving to me that God is a very present help in trouble. In the year 1918, according to the diagnosis of my physician I was afflicted with tuberculosis of the lungs.

I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing, but because I saw many wonderful proofs of the healing power of Truth in the family with which I live. I cannot say how grateful I am to God and to Mrs.

I am indeed grateful for Christian Science and what it has done for me and for our baby, who was born over a year ago. I feel I owe a great debt to this Christ, Truth, which has lifted me to higher and holier ground.

It is now over eight years since I became interested in Christian Science. At that time through reading our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for the first time, I was healed of eye trouble and was able to lay aside glasses which I had worn for a number of years.

Christian Science has healed me of chronic stomach trouble, which seemed to be a part of my lot ever since I was a small child. Many home remedies were tried, but only temporary relief resulted.

Twenty years ago, during a period of great distress and sorrow, I accompanied a dear aunt to Christian Science services, from which I received great comfort and the necessary confidence to face the future. Christian Science has protected and guided me throughout these years, and I rejoice that I am able to give testimony to its healing and protective power.

In Isaiah we read, "Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. " In loving obedience to this latter command I offer testimony to the efficacy of spiritual healing, revealed in Christian Science and proved by demonstration during a period of more than eight years.

After many years of blessings which have come to our home through the study and application of Christian Science, I want to write an expression of gratitude. Several years ago I visited an aunt who was a Christian Scientist.

The profound gratitude I feel towards God impels me to give it expression. I am sincerely grateful to Christian Science for the instruction and help I have received through its teachings.

Christian Science first came to my attention in November, 1913. My mother, who had been attending the services of a Christian Science Society for about two weeks, gave me a Sentinel to read and invited me to go with her to a Sunday service.
