Testimonies of Healing

I wish to give grateful testimony to the healing power of Christian Science. It has been my only help for over twenty-five years.

I have been blessed and sustained by the truth, as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for a number of years. From a child there had been so many material laws laid down for me that my condition had become such that I was looked upon as a confirmed invalid.

It is with deep gratitude that I acknowledge the healing of our two children through Christian Science of chicken pox, measles, and diphtheria. These ills presented themselves at different times, and were quickly healed through Christian Science treatment, leaving no evil after effects whatever.

I was stricken one morning with influenza. So severe was the attack, that it was with much difficulty I reached my home in the suburbs, some eighteen miles from the city.

One evening in the spring of 1918, when twelve years of age, I was running at full speed on the top of a row of bricks, when one of the bricks slipped and I fell on the right side of my face, with all my weight, on a fence of small sticks. One of the sticks pierced my face just where the nostril meets the cheek.

It is with unbounded gratitude that I look back on the blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life. Twelve years ago I applied for help for intense nervousness and insomnia; and the first night I slept like a babe.

For all the wonderful blessings Christian Science has brought to me and mine I am indeed grateful. I had never been a church attendant, but on the invitation of a friend and neighbor I attended the Christian Science testimony meeting one Wednesday evening in the year 1913.

My heart is filled with gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for the great and wonderful blessings which it has been my previlege to experience through Christian Science. I should like to call out to all who are fearful and anxious about their health, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

It is about six years since I took up the study of Christian Science, and I wish to say how grateful I feel for the many blessings it has brought into my life. I had not long to wait for a proof of its healing power.

Sixteen years ago Christian Science found me dwelling in the midst of materialism, unhappy, unjust, ungrateful, unloving, resentful, poverty-stricken, hopeless, Godless. The coming into my life of this glorious truth was like a ray of sunshine in some dark and lonely cavern.
