Testimonies of Healing

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.

In gratitude for relief from a distressing physical condition, I wish to bear witness to the healing power of Christian Science. Medical advice offered no hope, but it was thought a surgical operation might remove the trouble.

If the teachings of Christian Science, as discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, did not contain the absolute truth about God and man's relation to Him, I should not be here to give this testimony. In August, 1916, I was healed by Christian Science treatment, and raised from what was expected to be my deathbed, after two doctors in consultation had failed to relieve the condition in the slightest degree.

Having been healed through the study and help of Christian Science, I feel I must obey the command of Christ Jesus, "Freely ye have received, freely give. " It is with great joy that I bear witness to the healing power of Truth as taught in Christian Science.

With deep gratitude I write this testimony of what Christian Science has done for me. By putting into practice my understanding of this beautiful truth I am receiving blessings daily.

My husband and I eagerly took up the study of Christian Science over twenty years ago, when we saw the healing of a friend who had been a bedridden invalid for some years. I knew that such a healing could have been brought about only by God's power, although at the time I knew nothing of Christian Science, except that I knew of a few people who called themselves Christian Scientists and claimed to do healing.
