Testimonies of Healing

Some years ago I suffered from a nervous trouble accompanied by melancholy, from which I was not relieved, in spite of the kindest efforts on the part of renowned specialists. One of these physicians advised me to consult an especially renowned physician for nervous complaints.

Before coming into Christian Science I was an invalid for many years, being a sufferer from nervous and organic troubles. I was confined to the house, and the greater part of the time was obliged to rest because of severe backache.

About two years ago I was healed of poisoning after childbirth. To conform with the law, a doctor had to attend me; but I wanted above all else to have Christian Science treatment.

In expressing my gratitude for Christian Science I know not how to enumerate the blessings that have come to me during the past ten years, so many, so rich, and so full have these blessings been. From my earliest childhood I was instructed in the Scriptures, my father being a clergyman; and for years the teachings of the Protestant faith seemed to satisfy.

I wish to express my gratitude for the privilege of being a student of Christian Science. Christian Science declares, without equivocation, that the truth taught by Jesus, when rightly understood and applied, is sufficient to heal the sick, destroy discord, and establish peace.

Over a year ago I was taken suddenly ill. I had high fever and severe pains in the breast, and suffered from shortness of breath.

With the desire to please another I went to hear a Christian Science lecture; and from that day I began the study of Christian Science. I have been healed of severe headaches, car-sickness, and an internal disease so serious that I seemed to be passing on with hemorrhage.

It is with a great deal of gratitude that I tell of my first healing in Christian Science. I had been sick for a long time, and after an examination by two doctors was told that I had cancer of the stomach.

With gratitude to God I acknowledge my healing through Christian Science. In August, 1917, I was taken with a burning sensation on my tongue which grew worse until my whole system became affected.

It has been my desire for a long time to tell of the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science in the course of years. I was sick for a long time, and the physician under whose treatment I was did not give me any hope that I should recover.
