Testimonies of Healing
Deep and endless gratitude to God, to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to a dear Christian Science practitioner prompts me to write of a wonderful healing which my child experienced.
The first I knew of Christian Science was through attending the Sunday school when a small child, my parents having taken up the study of Christian Science at that time. I am now a member of The Mother Church, also of one of the branch churches.
I am most grateful for the real understanding of Love that is being unfolded in my daily life, for glimpses of the Love which Christ Jesus knew and reflected in all his works. Christian Science frees us from wrong desires and false appetites: I was healed of the morphine habit of twelve years' duration.
Before taking up the study of Christian Science I was a so-called nervous wreck, a veritable slave to fear. I had experienced nervous collapses at different times, being forced to give up my studies and work.
I am glad that I can say the above is true; but it is only a small part of the healings that have come to us. Within the past year I have been completely healed of the use of tobacco, after using it for nearly twenty-five years.
Since Christian Science came into my life, fifteen years ago, I have had abundant proof that it is the Comforter which Jesus promised to the world. As the first glimpse of the spiritual nature of God and of His creation dawned, I experienced instantaneous release from the necessity of wearing glasses.
When Christian Science came to me, I had been a sufferer for five years from gastric or duodenal ulcer, obstructed pyloris, and deformed lower intestine. For the greater part of this period I also suffered from hemorrhoids.
Christian Science came into my life proving that "man's extremity is God's opportunity. " After trying doctors, health resorts, hospitals, and material remedies for three years, I was told that another climate was my only hope.
All that I have to-day I owe to Christian Science. For the last three years it has met my every need.
It is a joyous privilege to express my gratitude for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life during the last twenty years. I had suffered constantly and intensely for several years from curvature of the spine, and every material remedy had failed.
