Testimonies of Healing

In early girlhood I united with an orthodox church, but after several years of earnest service I was disappointed with the results obtained from the teachings of this church. I then changed my membership to another denomination, thinking perhaps this would bring me more harmony; but after sixteen years of faithful work I became sick in both body and mind, and the church seemed a failure.

This testimony is in grateful acknowledgment of the great blessing Christian Science has been to me. I was healed of appendicitis through the study of Christian Science.

I wish to express my deep and sincere gratitude to God for revealing Christian Science to me, to mine, and to all who are willing to receive it. I have been healed of many diseases in the past eight years, such as a condition after pneumonia, diphtheritic throat trouble, chronic catarrh, periodical headaches, colds, night terrors, and many other ills unknown to me by name.

For four years I suffered from a very painful stomach trouble. Physicians tried everything, but finally hardening of the stomach developed, and I was operated upon.

This afternoon I am thinking of my wonderful healing some years ago, and the desire has come to me to give it out in order to benefit and help others as I have so often been helped by reading the testimonies in our periodicals. For two years I suffered with rheumatism, and a part of that time was compelled to use crutches.

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the many blessings I have received from Christian Science. The great truth which Mary Baker Eddy has revealed, that man's real nature and identity are spiritual and that he is the perfect creation of a perfect God, frees us from the falsities of material sense.

I am a taxidermist and while at work in the laboratory of the Victoria National Museum some time ago, I wounded my hand severely with a poisonous knife. My chief and the artist of the museum were greatly alarmed and hurried me off to a doctor, assuring me that while Christian Science might be all right, this was not the time to experiment with it, as I would be risking my life if I did not at once have my hand attended to! Having experienced a great healing in Christian Science once before, I went to a Christian Science practitioner for help.

I am so thankful that I am privileged to be called a Christian Scientist, and to share with others the blessings which have come to me through the application of this truth. One of the healings I might mention was that of what the world calls itching piles.

In January, 1922, I was taken very ill with the grippe. After I had been ill for six weeks I tried to get up, but felt very weak.

Christian Science has been my physician for over twenty years. It has enabled me to overcome many sicknesses and other discordant conditions.
