Testimonies of Healing

It is fifteen years since I first found Christian Science. At that time my husband had suffered from a condition of stomach trouble for many years.

It is with pleasure that I take this means of telling the great benefit which Christian Science has been to me, as taught by its Discoverer and Founder, Mrs. Eddy, and demonstrated by one of its many sincere and beloved practitioners.

When Christian Science was presented to me, it found me almost a mental wreck, in prison to false beliefs and illusions, a captive to sickness and wrong thinking. But God in His mercy set the captive free.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I send this testimony of what Christian Science has done and is doing for me and mine. I had never heard of Christian Science until eight years ago.

Nearly ten years ago, when Christian Science was presented to me, I had reached the point where every material means had been applied and had failed to give any relief from the many physical ills with which I was afflicted. I steadily grew worse, and the last physician attending me said he would not give me any more medicine and would not return again unless he was called.

It is with loving gratitude for the many blessings that have come into my life through the study of Christian Science that I give this testimony. In 1900 an examination of the eyes brought a verdict that there was no vision in one eye, and because of the additional strain on the other eye it appeared to be only a question of a few years until I would be totally blind.

Desiring to express my sincere gratitude for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me, I send this testimony, hoping it may help and encourage some one as the testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel have helped and encouraged me. After having a wonderful healing in Christian Science I was overcome with a serious illness of another nature, diagnosed by physicians as colitis, nervous indigestion, intestinal indigestion, ulceration, prostration, weak heart, and other troubles.

I am indeed very grateful for the better understanding of God and man I have gained through the knowledge of Christian Science. In the year 1916 I was feeling very despondent, having suffered with stomach and intestinal trouble for several years.

I feel it my duty to testify to the healing power of Christian Science. I had been a sufferer from headaches for over thirty years.

For many years I suffered from chronic constipation. Practitioners did not seem to help me, but I left them feeling sure this truth was for me in God's way sometime; and I then learned to wait on God.
