Testimonies of Healing

I shall never be able to tell in words all that Christian Science has done for me. It found me when a girl in a weak and delicate condition.

I had suffered many years from a delicate throat, a trouble believed to be hereditary in my father's family. Last year, after a severe attack of influenza, the agony in my throat became unbearable, so I decided to call a Christian Science practitioner for help.

I wish to thank God with all my heart for what He has done for me. About five years ago I heard of Christian Science for the first time; and, what is more, I read of it in a newspaper opposed to Christian Science.

Several years ago I commenced reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, not for healing, but just to see what Christian Science was like. I saw right away that it was the truth; and the wonderful truth expressed in that wonderful book was so deeply impressed on my consciousness that in a few days I discovered I was healed of a severe and long-standing case of hemorrhoids.

It was in the year 1892 that we first heard of and became interested in Christian Science, and since that time we have had many proofs that Christian Science is true, that it does heal sickness and sin and sorrow and help to supply all good. From a very small child I was taught by a loving Christian mother to go to God for everything, and that nothing was impossible to Him.

Like a great many others I came to Christian Science because I needed physical healing, being crippled with what doctors told me was sciatic rheumatism. I was urged to turn to Christian Science, and finally did so.

When I think of all the good that has come to me through the study and application of Christian Science, I hardly know where to begin in enumerating my blessings. When Christian Science was first presented to me, I certainly seemed to need it, for besides never having been strong or in good health, I also suffered severely from faults of disposition, extreme shyness and sensitiveness, nervousness and fear.

I wish to express my gratitude for the healing of a very troublesome skin disease on our baby. A physician who saw the child expressed the opinion that it was a case for a specialist.

To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings. " This marvelous statement, as given on the first page of the Preface to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, has proved to be a real beacon light to me.

I am truly grateful for all the good that has come into my life through the application of Christian Science. From being discordant and unhappy I have been lifted to a peaceful and happy state of consciousness.
