Testimonies of Healing

Nearly ten years ago, after I had been under medical treatment for twenty-five years, physicians pronounced my case incurable and said that I had but a year to live. My parents were orthodox Jews, though I never gave any attention to this teaching, and thus seemed to be without hope of any kind to inspire any expectation of release.

For over a year I suffered from a disease of the scalp, the result of which was that my hair came out very badly. The various kinds of material remedies which were applied were of no avail; on the contrary, the disease grew perceptibly worse, so that I was afraid I was going to lose all my hair.

About twelve years ago I became interested in Christian Science, not for physical healing, but out of curiosity. I had heard it and Mrs.

I am indeed grateful for the many proofs which have come to me through the study of Christian Science. I am especially grateful for a healing which was experienced several years ago, although the trial at the time seemed great.

When I first heard that, in Christian Science, healing was being done as in Jesus' time, I wanted to look into the subject. While I thought I did not require physical healing, I had always felt sorry for those who did not enjoy such health as I did.

In February, 1914, a dear friend, who belonged to the same church and taught in the same Sunday school as I, was healed through Christian Science of constipation of sixteen years' standing. This made a deep impression on me, though I had been taught by so-called orthodox parents to have nothing to do with anything that came from Mrs.

Over forty years ago we had to bear a very great sorrow, not knowing then anything about Christian Science. Later, when error again made its appearance in the family,— for according to the doctor's verdict a child was dying,—we turned to Christian Science, my husband having heard about it; and the child was healed.

Full of gratitude I wish to tell of a healing which was the means of bringing Christian Science into my home. Over four years ago I was taken seriously ill with lung trouble.

In thinking of the things for which I am most grateful to-day, I find it is for God's great goodness to all mankind; for the increased protection we have as we grow in the understanding of what God and man are; and for God's tender, loving care for those on the journey from sense to Soul, His constant presence with us, enabling us to say with the Psalmist: "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

I desire to express my unbounded gratitude for the gift of Christian Science to humanity. For seventeen years it has been healing my sicknesses, destroying fear, and correcting temperamental errors; and in all that time I have not had medical treatment or used material medicines of any kind.
