Testimonies of Healing
I have received much joy and help in reading the testimonies of healing, and should love to give mine, hoping it may bring comfort and healing to others. The first time I heard of Christian Science a dear niece, who had been a great sufferer, called at our home and told us of her healing in Christian Science.
I am deeply grateful for the healing my mother relates, which brought us into Christian Science many years ago. I am glad that Mrs.
I am so glad to have found the God who is Love, "who healeth all thy diseases. " Several years ago our daughter, who was a little past three years old, was so weakened, having had measles, bronchial trouble, and pneumonia, that she could not walk, and seemed to take cold and have a light form of fever almost all the time.
This testimony is an obligation which I have owed for some time, for I have often received much benefit from reading of the experiences of others. Some thirteen years ago I turned to Christian Science for help, as I was a great sufferer.
I feel should express gratitude to God, and to our revered Leader. Mrs.
With the help of a Christian Science practitioner I was healed of smoking, drinking, and the use of profanity the second week after I began treatment. The Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, began to unfold their treasures to me; that is, the spiritual significance of incidents and sayings was revealed, showing me the purpose and ultimate of life as spiritual, not material.
Paul says, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. " Through studying "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I am becoming a new creature, as old thoughts pass away, leaving me free to do greater work for God and my fellow-men; and this is bringing me more peace, joy, health, and happiness than ever before.
One winter day I went with my little grandson to one of the parks of the city, where he joined fully a hundred boys and girls who were coasting. The coasting field was down the incline of a steep bank, out over at least a hundred yards of level ground, to a ten-foot terrace, at the bottom of which was an iron fence.
The words from Scripture, "The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword," were proved to me when, a short while ago, I received a very great physical healing. Having undergone two major operations, followed by intense suffering for several months, I was brought home from the hospital in a very emaciated condition.
Christian Science came into my life at a time when I was utterly discouraged, and in such a weakened condition that I was not able to be out of bed all day at a time. My physician had done all for me that he could do, and said that I would have to undergo an operation before I would have relief.
