Testimonies of Healing

For more than twelve years I taxed the endurance of the various members of my family with my ill health; and finding the severe climate of Montana during the last four years of this time a serious trial, I came to California, hoping the milder climate would prove beneficial. Soon afterward I awakened one morning feeling very ill.

Although I am young in Christian Science and in years, I have, through the loving help of my mother, overcome many of the ailments of childhood. I will tell one or two that stand out in my memory.

My gratitude for Christian Science knows no bounds. By nature logical, I could find no satisfaction in mere theories about religion which I could not personally prove; so it was only about ten years ago that I found the solution to the religious problem in the teachings of Christian Science,—a practical, demonstrable religion, applicable to the problems of our daily life.

The testimonies in The Christian Science Journal and Sentinel have been such a help to me that I feel I should like to tell of the wonderful way we were helped when our little boy seemed very ill. One night, after going to bed in the best of spirits, he suddenly began to cry, and said he had terrible pains in his head.

With deep gratitude for all the good which I have received through Christian Science, I wish to give my testimony. For twenty-five years I had been a sufferer from pain in the back.

With heartfelt thanks I wish to express my gratitude to God for Christian Science and what it has done for me. In the early part of the year 1913, severe pains were experienced in my legs and feet, which increased until they became unbearable.

I wish to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science. For a great many years I had been a sufferer from gallstones, until ultimately for ten weeks I was unable to eat anything except in liquid form.

In the month of April, 1915, two eminent doctors, after examining me under an anæsthetic, urged an immediate operation for the removal of two internal growths, one of which was of a fibroid nature. I had been through several operations, the last of which was performed by a well-known London specialist, who at the conclusion warned my husband against permitting another operation, saying my heart would not stand the strain again.

Christian Scientists in every portion of the globe are, each day, understanding more of the glorious Principle that is ever present and operative in healing all sin and disease. It was the understanding, in a small measure, of this divine Principle that healed me of tubercular bone disease of seven years' standing.

Last year, when going at a high rate of speed on roller skates, I fell, seriously injuring my leg, which proved to be fractured. An X-ray picture showed that the shin had two large cracks lengthwise, also one crosswise at the ankle.
