Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science has been my only physician for years, whereas previously I took medicine every night for a form of indigestion. I am so thankful to God for sending me this healing truth; for Mrs.
The benefits I have received through the study of Chiristian Science are greater than I can express in words. From my birth I was considered frail and delicate; and up to the age of seven I spent most of the winters in bed.
With joy and gratitude I tender my testimony as to the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. In the year 1910, I was afflicted with epilepsy.
I came into Christian Science over seventeen years ago through the healling of my baby girl. She had erysipelas, and was the most pitiful sight I had ever seen.
The protecting power of Christian Science was beautifully proved for us on Christmas morning a few years ago, when just outside our home something serious went wrong with the electric wiring system, so that a very high voltage of electricity passed through the house, and I came in contact with it. I had asked a practitioner for treatment for a slight trouble the evening before, and it was given.

I have been interested in Christian Science for about nine years, but have only recently gained some understanding of what it really means; because up to this time I had stood still, making no real effort, but expecting everything. I had only a blind faith, and was waiting for an indefinite something to come along and heal me of my bad habits and help me when I was sick.
I wish to express, in so far as I can do so in words, my deep gratitude for the blessings brought into my life by Christian Science, as revealed by God to this age through His trusted and well-beloved servant, Mary Baker Eddy. I was brought up in Christian Science, and grew to manhood without knowing the taste of medicine.
Christian Science has met every need that has presented itself in our home for seventeen years. Blood poisoning, pneumonia, nervous breakdown, eczema, and children's diseases have all been healed solely through the truth it reveals.
I suffered for thirty-five years from numerous ailments, among them serious stomach and bowel trouble, which many physicians and material remedies failed to cure, and seldom relieved; and for almost fifty years I had striven ineffectually under the old teachings of Protestant religions for spiritual light about God and man. I did not know what to believe, or how to get out of my physical suffering.
