Testimonies of Healing

When I look back and think of the road along which I have traveled since the time I accepted Christian Science, my heart overflows with gratitude to God for the innumerable blessings which the understanding of Truth has brought me, an understanding which gives peace even when unrest and confusion seem to surround us. About seven years ago, Christian Science was presented to me at a time when I was earnestly trying to turn in a new direction to find a God more accessible than the one I had hitherto known.

Christian Science was brought to my notice seven years ago, when, broken in health and spirit, it seemed to me that my days were numbered. At that period I was physically so weak, and every condition surrounding me was so discordant, that I contemplated death as a ministering angel rather than as an enemy, as Paul calls it in I Corinthians.

A few years ago I had an experience which seems symbolical of my life before I knew anything about Christian Science. I was staying on a small island off the coast of Maine and was going in a motor boat to another island, five miles distant.

I have received such great benefit from Christian Science that I should like in gratitude to tell something of what it has done and is doing for me. From childhood until I was over forty I scarcely knew what it was to be well, indigestion, with its attendant evils, and rheumatism being the chief troubles.

I should like to express my gratitude for what the understanding of God gained through the study of Christian Science has done for me. After studying the Bible, together with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for some time, and feeling well grounded in the truth, there came a time when I was confronted with the necessity of proving the efficacy of the truth I had learned.

With a deep sense of gratitude I wish to testify to the blessings which I have been privileged to experience through God's infinite and omnipotent love. I had been suffering for twenty five years from chronic catarrh, which was accompanied by a terrible cough.

Christian Science was brought to my attention at a time of great physical suffering. I had met with an accident while yet in my early teens which resulted in the fracture of the right lower rib.

Having read many helpful testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals, I should like to add mine, in the hope that it may prove helpful to others. When our baby was born, the doctor said her digestive organs were all wrong; and for four months and a half she could take no food at all, just having albumen water and whey.

To say that I am profoundly grateful for all the blessings that have come to me through the application of Christian Science seems quite inadequate to express my feelings. It is with the hope that others may benefit by my experience that I relate the facts connected with the complete healing of a so-called hopeless physical condition.

Through the study of Christian Science I have been changed from a discontented, ill tempered woman to a joyous, loving one; and it is with great gratitude to God that I send this testimony. Soon after I began the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, my baby was healed of a severe cold and fever in one treatment from a Christian Science practitioner, and with this healing I was freed from a load of anxiety and fear.
