Testimonies of Healing
I never had been a strong woman; and after giving birth to several children, my health was not improved. In the spring of 1919, I was taken to a private hospital for a surgical operation.
[Original testimony in German] In the first year of the war we read in a newspaper of a lawsuit in which a Christian Science practitioner in Berlin was involved. My mother was especially interested in the wonderful healings to which the witnesses testified.
In 1915, I turned to Christian Science, hoping it would heal me of nervous prostration, from which I had been suffering for about six months. I was engaged in the practice of osteopathy when the nervous breakdown occurred.
With deep gratitude I should like to testify to a healing which I have received through Christian Science. Some months ago I hurt the forefinger on the hand that I use constantly in my work.
Having for more than fourteen years reaped the benefits of Christian Science, I should like to express my gratitude for this wonderful truth. In our home, Christian Science was taken up because of religious dissatisfaction.
[Original testimony in French] I have known of Christian Science for some time. It was presented to me by friends, and I had never before heard it spoken of.
I am glad of this opportunity to express my thankfulness to God for Christian Science. By the time I was twenty-three, having experienced much of the seamy side of life, ill health, and lack of funds, I was dejected, and my nerves were in a wretched state.
I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing, but because of an unrest and dissatisfaction in my religious beliefs. I not only have received satisfaction and rest in this new-old religion, but have had many physical healings.
I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science, for what it has done and is doing for me. During more than twenty years I suffered from chronic indigestion; and the constant dieting made me very weak and no better.
It is with deep gratitude I express my thanks for the many blessings and healings I have experienced through Christian Science whenever rightly applied. Varicose veins of many years' standing have been completely healed; also, glasses were discarded which had been in constant use.
