Testimonies of Healing

I feel the time has come for me to tell a little of what Christian Science has done for me and been to me in the twenty-four years it has been my comfort, healer, and guide, freeing me greatly from the bondage of fear by the understanding of the truth of being and the allness of God, good. My mother had long been an invalid and great sufferer, and when given up by both schools of physicians was led to attend a Christian Science lecture.

It is nine years since we first heard of Christian Science. We were spending the winter in Switzerland, where we had gone for the health of our younger daughter, who was suffering from tuberculous glands.

Some years ago my wife was healed, through the loving help of a Christian Science practitioner, of a long standing ailment called acute indigestion, and of other inharmonious physical conditions. She is now happily enjoying the comforts of the ever-presence of God's love.

I feel that God has been so good to me, through the understanding of Christian Science, that I should like to give my testimony as to its healing power. I was for a number of years a sufferer from nervous indigestion.

It is with the deepest sense of love and gratitude to God for all the blessings received through Christian Science that I give this testimony of the instantaneous healing of acute indigestion, which I experienced some years ago while living in New Orleans. I was awakened at two o'clock one Sunday morning with agonizing pain and nausea; and although I tried to do my mental work, I was unable to cope with the error.

In love and gratitude for all that Christian Science is teaching me I send this testimony, and trust it may prove helpful to others. Christian Science has given me an altogether wider and brighter outlook.

As a child I was taught to love the Bible and the church, and as a child I always wanted to know about God. As I grew up, this desire led me to read all I could, and question all I could, in the endeavor to find the truth.

When the subject of Christian Science became of frequent discussion in my home, I was experiencing some discomfort, said to be due to the excessive use of tobacco. I therefore decided to see if Christian Science could do anything for me.

Physical healing by spiritual means, received through the ministrations of a Christian Science practitioner, created a desire to know of the method in which the healing was accomplished. I was told the Bible contained the recipe for healing all disease and discord, but that it must be spiritually interpreted.

I had a nervous breakdown and suffered much pain from what the physicians called neuritis and sciatic rheumatism. For nine months I could not walk.
