Testimonies of Healing

Before getting acquainted with Christian Science I underwent a good deal of physical suffering, but worse than this was the constant fear of an hereditary tendency to mental depression. A sincere love for study made me choose a university career.

We turned to Christian Science for the healing of my wife, who was in a critical nervous and physical condition. The doctors had given up all hope of her recovery, and had suggested that she be removed to a sanitarium.

It is over three years since I came into Christian Science. At that time I was a nervous wreck.

Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. " From the fullness of my own experience I can testify to the truth of these words.

It is with a heart full of gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for the great benefit received through Christian Science that I write this testimony. When a young girl I suffered from a severe throat trouble.

"It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. " It must have been God who called to me when as a young girl I decided to search for Truth.

Christian Science has been the greatest experience in my life. It has opened a door into a new existence, which I was not aware of before.

Some years ago my sister-in-law, who had been healed of a nervous breakdown, called my attention to Christian Science. Although my own attitude and that of my husband towards Christian Science was one of rejection, and we even derided my sister-in-law, we were eventually persuaded to visit a practitioner in order that my husband might be healed of nervous attacks and difficult breathing, which occurred regularly during the night.

As one who has received much help and cheer from the testimonies in our periodicals, I gladly add my tithe of joy and gratitude for blessings which are constantly coming to me and mine through the study of Christian Science. Fifteen years ago our three-year old baby was healed of infantile paralysis; seven years ago our elder boy was healed of chronic tonsillitis and quinsy, which years of medical treatment had failed to help.

I turned to Christian Science as a last resort. If there had been any other way open it would have been gladly accepted, for I thought I was very much opposed to Christian Science.
