Testimonies of Healing

It is over two years since we first heard of Christian Science as a method of healing. Material means had been exhausted for our six months' old baby girl, and we expected her to pass on at any time.

Since childhood manifold blessings have come to me through Christian Science. The teachings in the Sunday school stand out clearly.

In 1910 I was suffering from a groin rupture caused by a strain the previous year. I applied for life insurance; and after a physical examination a policy was issued containing a clause to the effect that the policy would become void in the event of my death from hernia, provided I did not at all times wear a truss.

I desire to express my sincere gratitude for the many blessings that have come into our home since we turned to Christian Science. It is over five years since this great truth came into my life.

I feel it a duty to tell what Christian Science has done for me in the way of healing. In 1908 I had what the doctors called stomach trouble.

It is with great joy that I add my testimony to the many others, feeling, as I do, that outside of Christian Science neither peace nor true happiness is to be found. I heard of Science many years ago, and have been very slow in waking up—not for want of desire, but because my life till then had been spent in acquiring worldly knowledge, in thinking of self, and in a firm belief in the power of human intellect.

I gratefully send this testimony of a wonderful healing I experienced shortly after joining the Christian Science Sunday School, at the age of sixteen. At that time I was quite deaf, the result of scarlet fever when a small child,—so the doctors said.

I too wish to avail myself of the privilege of bearing grateful testimony to physical and mental healing through Christian Science. Two years ago I suffered from a trouble which gradually developed into chronic bronchial catarrh.

When Christian Science was brought to my attention it found me suffering from a nervous and organic trouble of seven years' standing, continually getting worse, after all the kind efforts of the physician and osteopath had failed. I immediately began the study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and found a great deal of comfort and relief, although there was much in the book I did not understand.

Having received so many benefits through the study of Christian Science, I should like to write about them in the hope of helping others. In March, 1920, I experienced a very annoying pain in my knee; but, like all other difficulties of the kind, I felt it would disappear through my own Christian Science reading.
