Testimonies of Healing

I am deeply grateful to divine Love for showing me the way to Christian Science, whereby happiness and peace have returned to our home. I became acquainted with Christian Science in January, 1925, through a business friend, and began to attend the Sunday services and Wednesday evening testimony meetings at once.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I write this testimony of the healing power of divine Love. From earliest childhood I was considered very delicate, being seldom free from some form of ailment, and constantly obliged to seek medical aid.

It is with the hope of encouraging some poor sufferer that I send this testimony. I had been more ill than well ever since our first child was born, over seventeen years ago, and had spent on doctors and operations much which should have been used for my family's needs.

Some time ago my little girl was run over by a heavy automobile, the wheels passing over her leg. After I arrived at the hospital to which the child had been taken, they took an X-ray picture of the leg.

From infancy I had "suffered many things of many physicians"— medical, surgical, osteopathic, electric; and although they were so kind and did all they could, yet one difficulty would hardly be overcome when another would appear, until the climax was reached in the occurrence of an explosion. This experience brought about a mental condition one dislikes to recall.

Ten years ago, the only verdict given by doctors and specialists was that I would be an invalid for the rest of my life. At that time I suffered untold agony with abscesses in the bones of my face and head.

"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " This truth has been proved many times in my experience, and has never failed once since I became interested in Christian Science.

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so," we are told in the Bible. I therefore lovingly and joyfully send this testimony for publication; for in my endeavor to study and practice Christian Science I can truly say I have in some measure been redeemed from the belief in an evil power, and been made to realize in some degree the ever-presence of a loving God.

My mother, my sister, and I were paying an afternoon visit to a doctor's wife. As a slight shower of rain was falling, we waited for a while.

Having shared the blessings which Christian Science is bringing to all who turn to it with an earnest and receptive heart, I should like to add my testimony of gratitude. I did not come to this Science for physical healing, but because I was impressed with the inspiring logic of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
