Testimonies of Healing

It is over ten years since I first heard of Christian Science, and it would be impossible to express my gratitude for what it has done for me and for my family. Christian Science found me in a very serious condition.

For many years I have longed to contribute my quota of gratitude for the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science, but I have never felt I had anything important enough to write about compared to the many marvelous testimonies I have been reading in the periodicals during this time. Since giving a testimony on the healing of seasickness and finding many people grateful to have heard it, I venture to write it.

This testimony is given in grateful recognition of abundant blessings received through the study of Mrs. Eddy's writings, and with the hope that some one may thereby benefited as I have been in reading the testimonies of others.

Christian Science helps one in so many ways it is difficult to know where to begin to tell of the many benefits received. It is ten years since I was instantaneously cured of a troublesome disease; and not a day has passed since then without some proof of the healing power of Truth.

Three years ago I became ill. A physician diagnosed the case as typhus fever accompanied by inflamed membrane of the brain.

The most wonderful blessing which has come to my consciousness through the study of Christian Science is the knowledge that there is only one Church founded on the Christ, Truth. As I was brought up in a small town where there were many denominations, each representing itself as the right one, it took several years' study for me to realize clearly this healing truth and to know that man-made theories and doctrines are but beliefs of mortal mind, not a part of God's law and government.

About five years ago, while suffering from chronic indigestion and anaemia, I was advised to ask for help in Christian Science by a friend whose opinion I much respected. The explanation of Christian Science, as given by this friend, appealed to me as offering a foundation on which to base hope; and as I had been informed by doctors that I should probably develop some disease which I should have no strength to fight in my anæmic condition,I stood greatly in need of a hopeful doctrine.

Four years ago, I heard of Christian Science for the first time. I accepted it after being healed in a single treatment of pleurisy from which I had suffered day and night for about a year.

It is impossible to express in words my gratitude to God for Christian Science, as discovered by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. In reviewing all the blessings brought to our home through Christian Science, I find truly that nothing is "too good to be true," because good is all that is true.

Words cannot express my gratitude for all I have received in Christian Science. I have been healed of many things.
