Testimonies of Healing

The following experience came to me when I had been studying Christian Science only nine months; and from it valuable lessons were learned. I had been able in the brief time I had been studying to make numerous demonstrations for my children over minor troubles; but always in the midst of my rejoicing would come the suggestion, like a mocking voice, This is all very well in small matters, but supposing some great or sudden danger threatened, would you turn to your new-found Christian Science or to a doctor? Always this tormenting argument seemed to go on, trying to destroy my peace and joy in this new-found truth.

I have received so many benefits from Christian Science that I desire to praise Him "in the great congregation;" and I take this means of so doing. My mother became a student of Christian Science when I was about nineteen.

When I began my study of Christian Science, I was utterly discouraged and wretched in both body and mind. I had always been considered delicate, and as added years and marriage brought more work and greater responsibility I became less and less able to take my part in life.

Since taking up the study of Christian Science three years ago, I have experienced healing a number of times, but am especially grateful for the most recent occasion. For some time I cherished a great desire to see The Mother Church, and at last the way opened, in a very unlooked-for and, as I felt, providential manner, for me to make the trip to Boston.

When Christian Science was presented to me, about nineteen years ago, by a dear friend who had been healed through the application of this blessed truth, it proved indeed to be God's opportunity; for I seemed to have reached the point where I was without hope or God in the world. It seemed as if I was afflicted with almost every ill that "flesh is heir to," and burdened with a deep sense of sorrow almost beyond endurance.

It is with a grateful heart I acknowledge the many blessings that I have received through Christian Science. For the past seven years, and more, it has met my every need, and has brought peace, happiness, and joy into my life.

It is with great pleasure that I give as a testimony my experience in Christian Science. For more than eight years I suffered constantly from stomach trouble.

Christian Science was presented to me three years ago, at a time when I was very much discouraged and had almost lost hope of ever seeing my little six-year-old daughter well again. She had been a sufferer for several years from what had been termed tubercular glands of the neck.

It is with deepest gratitude to God that I give this testimony of the healing, uplifting power of Christian Science in my life. When I asked for help in Christian Science in the spring of 1912, I was healed of a severe nervous breakdown, chronic constipation, and rheumatism.

I came to Christian Science for physical healing, and it has met my every need. My first proof of its healing power was on board a steamer crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
