Testimonies of Healing

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.

"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.

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.
