Testimonies of Healing
I should like to express my gratitude for the wonderful revelation Mrs. Eddy's teaching has been to me.
" Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. " This statement on page 494 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, has been proved true in my case.
The healing efficacy of Christian Science was impressively brought to my attention some ten years ago, when my wife was healed in a manner that seemed to me little short of a miracle. At this time I was personally suffering from a severe form of indigestion and under the treatment of one of this city's best physicians, but seemed to be steadily getting worse.
For some years before hearing about Christian Science, I felt that the teachings of the church of which I was then a member did not enable me to practice my religion sufficiently in my daily life. One evening my husband brought home the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which had been lent him by a friend who had been healed through its teachings.
In the summer of 1921 my father became suddenly ill with what his physician said was a stoppage of the gall duct, or gallstones. The only remedy, he said, was an operation, which he could not recommend on account of my father's age and a condition of overweight.
It was about twelve years ago that I received my first healing through the application of Christian Science. From a child I had seemed to be subject to sore throat, and at the time above referred to I had a most acute attack of this trouble, which culminated in quinsy.
It is nearly eight years since I began studying the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I had been married about seven years, and had been ill at least half of the time.
Christian Science came to me in an hour of desperate need. I had been suffering for some time from tubercular trouble of the lungs, and had exhausted many material remedies.
About seven years ago I was led to take up the study of Christian Science through the healing of a dear friend who had previously suffered from nearly all the ills that "flesh is heir to. " This healing seemed so marvelous that I decided to look further into the subject.
I became interested in Christian Science about nine years ago through my mother's great need of help. At that time the attending physician told her frankly he could not do anything more for her.
