Testimonies of Healing

When I remember it was on the eve of the year 1916 that I accepted Christian Science, I think it time that I openly acknowledge my gratitude to God and the dear friend who had been for some time previous lending me copies of the Christian Science Sentinel . I thought the reading fine, and the testimonies, at that early stage of enlightenment, almost too good to be true; but gradually it dawned upon me that this was the truth that Jesus taught.

A recent healing which my husband has had through Christian Science was from an injured knee joint, when, according to medical belief, an operation appeared necessary. My husband was away at the time attention was first called to it, but immediately asked help of a Christian Science practitioner, who lovingly assisted him until he arrived home, when he asked another practitioner to take charge of the case.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. Before coming into Christian Science I was suffering from a goiter.

I have been wonderfully benefited through the application of Christian Science, and have had many demonstrations. The healings have not always been instantaneous, but those that have been delayed have given me an opportunity for more study of the truth.

In the hope that I might receive relief from tuberculosis of the lungs through change of climate, my physician in Illinois advised my going West. My physical condition was such, however, that he thought it best for me to make the change gradually, so I spent a year in Kansas.

About fifteen years ago I first heard of Christian Science. I had been a member of the Church of England all my life, and was very devoted to my church; and I still love all that is true in it.

About eight years ago I was almost instantly healed of what a doctor called extreme nervous heart. I had been under bondage to this trouble for many years.

I began the study of Christian Science over fifteen years ago. At that time I had been under the constant care of a local physician for many months.

The Lord has done great things for my family and for me, and I want to acknowledge this to-day with heartfelt gratitude! When Christian Science first came into my life, I immediately felt it was the true religion. I commenced to study it, and soon could record a remarkable proof.

Before taking up the study of Christian Science I attended church because I thought religion made for a better civilization, but not from any thought of devoutness. I had grown to womanhood with a sense of rebelliousness toward things religious, owing to the fact that I had lost a dearly loved sister when I was a small child and had been told it was God's will that she should die.
