Testimonies of Healing

In our home we have been graciously blessed through Christian Science demonstration, and I cannot too emphatically state that the truth has met our every need in every hour. When everything else had failed, Christian Science became our only physician.

I am very grateful to the Giver of all good for revealing Christian Science to me when it was most needed. About five years ago, after several doctors had done all they could to heal me of organic leakage of the heart and had failed, a friend sent us some copies of the Christian Science Sentinel ; and although I had formerly ridiculed this Science, after I had read the literature my thought was so changed I decided to visit a practitioner to learn more of this strange yet beautiful teaching that had cast a ray of hope into my discouraged thought.

I have been a student of Christian Science for nine years; and in that time we have witnessed many healings in our home, catarrh, tubercular throat, varicose veins, neuritis, infected eyes, abscess, acute indigestion, and many other so-called ailments having been healed. I wish to speak of a recent healing from the effects of an accident.

With a desire to know more about God, I began the study of Christian Science. I am grateful for the purification of thought and the spiritual illumination which have come to me through our Leader's inspired writings; these alone have made possible the healings which I have experienced.

It is about fifteen years since I became interested in Christian Science, and each one has his own individual experience. Mine was not one of seeking a cure for sickness, although I found myself quickly healed of chronic constipation and a valvular heart condition.

" To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings," says our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" ( Pref. , p.

About ten years ago I was healed through Christian Science of severe cold and sore throat while on a visit in the West, and from that time have applied no means of healing except Christian Science. I had constantly had colds, and though I had been treated by a practitioner several times, I did not understand the teachings, nor was I convinced that I had been helped.

About twelve years ago I turned to Christian Science to gain relief from rheumatism. At that time I was also suffering great mental anguish as the result of a very unhappy experience.

While recovering from one of many attacks of appendicitis, I was handed Christian Science literature by a friend who was very much interested in me. I was so miserable that I did not really enjoy reading the literature, as I never cared to read anything.

It is with profound gratitude that I give the following testimony, which but vaguely expresses all that I owe to Christian Science, to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and to the practitioner. Upon being called one morning, I was found to be unconscious.
