Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science is the light of the world; and for this light that is dawning on human thought I am truly grateful. It is only after nearly fourteen years of a wrong sense of working or struggling that I am now beginning to realize what that Light is that "lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

I am most grateful for Christian Science and for all the blessings which it has brought me. Some four years ago, I came to a place in my experience where there seemed to be no rest or peace for me.

The road to our home crossed two boulevards and four electric-train tracks. At five o'clock in the afternoon the traffic over these roads is very heavy.

Last year, while I was staying in the south of France, what seemed a very severe attack of pneumonia, with a bad cough and high fever, overtook me. I wired to a Christian Science practitioner in Holland for treatment, which was kindly given.

One of the few things that stand out in my memory of early childhood is trouble with my eyes. It was supposed that I was born with weak eyes.

My four-year-old daughter had every evidence of having appendicitis, and although she had the help of a Christian Science practitioner for ten days, she did not improve much; however, the pain was eased and she did not suffer greatly. My husband, not being a student of Christian Science, began to feel that he would like the advice of a physician.

Mine was a case of tuberculosis of the lungs, brought about, probably, by fear and worry over my sister's death from the same trouble. Before this time, I had no idea that my usual good health could be menaced from this source, or that fear was seemingly so powerful.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. " Not in some ways, but "in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The many beautiful articles and testimonies published in the Christian Science periodicals have been, and are, a daily inspiration to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity of expressing my love to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of this wonderful religion that teaches us how to free ourselves and others from sickness and sin.

In loving gratitude to God, I wish to acknowledge the great help received through the faithful work of a Christian Science practitioner at the birth of my baby, now eleven months old. Through the loving help of a practitioner, lumbago, measles, earache, and kidney trouble which had been troublesome for years, have also been healed.
