Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science was offered to me about five years ago when I seemed in extremity, which proved indeed to be God's opportunity. For several years I had had occasional attacks of stomach trouble, which then became continuous for three years, with a physician in almost constant attendance.

In February, 1924, after six months of suffering which had become more and more severe, T was, to my great regret, obliged to give up my work as a clerk in Paris, where I went each day. The doctor whom I saw at this time, and in whom I had complete confidence, treated me for severe inflammation of the bladder, and prescribed several medicines, which brought no improvement.

For a number of years previous to 1916, I struggled with many diseases and physical discords, among which were rheumatism, dyspepsia, and tuberculosis of the lungs and throat. I was under treatment at various sanitariums and received some temporary relief.

For many years I have wished to send my testimony to our periodicals, because I have frequently been helped and encouraged by reading those of others. I have been healed of hay fever, bilious attacks, colds, and other ailments, but the healing for which I am most grateful is that of defective sight.

So many wonderful and beautiful proofs of healing through Christian Science have come into my home and life since my first healing thirty-four years ago, that I sometimes stand in awe before them all. My own healing was instantaneous and almost unbelievable.

I am grateful to have found the God of love instead of a God of vengeance. When a child, I was sick and afflicted the greater part of the time; and as my parents were devout members of a so-called orthodox church, I was taught a great deal about God.

For several years prior to taking up the study of Christian Science, I had suffered from a serious eye trouble. This deprived me of my education, as I was taken out of school and compelled to remain in a dark room.

I am profoundly grateful for Christian Science and for all the good it has brought to me. I have learned more about service through Christian Science than I ever knew before: what it really means to serve God by serving our fellow-men, and how the thought of getting fades into oblivion when we learn the real meaning of giving.

I am very grateful for the blessings that have come into my life through Christian Science, and feel that I should send my testimony for others to read; for I have been benefited by reading the helpful testimonies in our periodicals. My first healing was of lameness, after going on crutches for some time.

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.
