Testimonies of Healing

Over thirteen years ago I began attending Christian Science Wednesday evening testimony meetings in a casual way. Many of those who testified used the expression "spiritual understanding.

I first became interested in Christian Science about seventeen years ago. Seeing my need, a friend said, "You surely need Christian Science as much as any one I know; " and she lent me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

With deepest gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me, I give this testimony in the hope that others may reap such blessings as I have received. I have had many healings, among them three from what were deemed incurable diseases: a cancer which caused great suffering; a spinal trouble which caused severe pain in the back of my head; also a very bad cough.

A few years ago, I had a stroke of apoplexy, and at that time we were informed by the physician that if it recurred it would probably prove fatal, or in case of recovery it would be doubtful if I should ever walk again. In the spring of 1922 we took up the study of Christian Science, seeking help for my wife, who had just returned from her fifth visit to the hospital.

Before I gained a knowledge of Truth as revealed in Christian Science, life was to me an unsolvable problem. In spite of thirty years' association with orthodox denominations, I had not realized the conscious sense of unity with God which I longed for, and there remained a veil which shut out the light.

I want to express my deep gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. I became interested in it nearly six years ago, and in a few treatments was healed of neuritis in my right arm.

It is now more than ten years since I received my first healing in Christian Science. From early childhood I had suffered from indigestion; but as I was treated hygienically neither my parents nor I feared a fatal termination of my ailment.

Hoping my testimony will benefit some one who is seeking the light, I should like to tell how I was led and guided in my mental journey from the darkness of night to the marvelous light of day. When I was quite a little girl my grandmother came to live with us.

I am indeed grateful to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who revealed the truth to mankind, not only for the many healings that my family and I have received, but also for the spiritual uplift; and I desire to state briefly two of the many blessings that I have experienced. In 1918, I was ill with influenza.

Christian Science was presented to me a little over two years ago, at a time of great need. I was suffering from what the medical profession called muscular rheumatism, neuritis, and a host of minor ailments.
