Testimonies of Healing

It is my sincere desire to express my gratitude for the rich blessings which my family and I have experienced through the wonderful teaching of Christian Science. In 1911 dear relatives told us of this beautiful teaching, this new-old religion.

" The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. " This beautiful verse of Scripture describes my approach to Christian Science.

Eleven years ago my mother, who had taken up the study of Christian Science for healing, asked me to get the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and read it. I did so, and while reading the chapter on Prayer, was healed of anæmia and chronic indigestion.

I have received much help spiritually and physically through Christian Science. Many blessings have come to me through what knowledge I have gained by its study.

I am deeply grateful to Christian Science for having taught me to lean upon and turn to God whatever the need may be. During the years that I have been interested in Christian Science I have had many proofs of God's willingness and ability to heal and uphold under all circumstances.

I had heard of Christian Science for many years, and had been gradually getting ready for it before I began definitely to study it. Two members of my family became Christian Scientists, and this made me think a great deal; and although I was very much opposed to what I thought Christian Science was, I began to pray again, a thing I had not done for some time, and to read my Bible.

Several years ago I bought a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and endeavored to study it. I was in good health at the time, and did not become interested in its teachings, as they were not understood by me; so the book was set aside.

In 1898 the best doctors in Lausanne advised me to go through an operation. This I did, but with no good result; for a short time afterwards I suffered as much as before.

I wish to add my testimony of what Christian Science has done for me and mine, to the many others which have come from equally grateful hearts. The many healings I have experienced would form a long list; therefore I shall mention but a few.

At the time I came to Christian Science for physical healing I was in an exceedingly nervous and despondent condition as the result of my seeming inability to obtain permanent healing. Until the truth as taught in Christian Science began to free me from my false beliefs, I had seemed to be always in bondage to some form of physical ill.
