Testimonies of Healing

I am very grateful for the privilege of testifying to the unfailing benefits I have received through the study and application of Christian Science. I have been healed of neuritis, chronic constipation, colds, coughs, headaches, malaria, and many other ills.

At the time when Christian Science came to me I was ill physically and mentally. I was suffering from what the doctors call neurasthenia, and after many years of searching among creeds and philosophies for a God who was Love, I had given up the quest as hopeless.

Early in the year 1902, I was given to understand that my services would no longer be needed as a public school teacher, owing to the fact that I had been pronounced tubercular by two physicians. I returned to my home very much discouraged, and shortly afterwards had a hemorrhage for the second time.

About thirteen years ago I was a great sufferer from gallstones, acute indigestion, spasms, and congestion. The last was so severe that the physician could give me no relief.

I wish to express my gratitude to Christian Science for the wonderful healing I had in the winter of 1914. On returning home from a visit, I brought with me a large corn sheller to save going back after it the next day.

I should like to express my deep gratitude and joy for the great privilege of having had Christian Science brought to me, and to give thanks for the friend who brought it, and for all the loving patience she expressed under very trying circumstances in the way of great opposition in my home to anything that should take me away from the Church of England, to which we belonged. I did not come into Christian Science for the healing of sickness; but I came because I saw in it what I had been looking and longing for, what was called in the church I then went to "the second coming of Christ.

" Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" I have too long delayed giving publicity to an expression of this praise. At the age of seventeen I was pronounced a tubercular patient by my physician; and this diagnosis was confirmed by many other physicians in examinations for life insurance, and in treating me for the many ills I suffered for more than thirty years.

My interest in Christian Science began when I was just a child, about twelve or fourteen years old; and I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings received since that time. The realization seemed to come to me then that God was my only helper, and that Christian Science was the way.

I wish to express deepest gratitude for all the blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life. It is twenty years since I first heard of this blessed truth, and through all these years I have been sustained and protected and comforted with the slight understanding I have had.

Filled with desire to help suffering humanity I gave up the teaching profession and became a nurse. After a few years of practical nursing, this profession did not satisfy me any longer.
