Testimonies of Healing

I have very great reason to be grateful to Christian Science for the wonderful help and guidance I have received through its teaching. For the past several years it has met my every need.

The following is one of many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science which I have had since turning to it, ten years ago. I was riding beside the driver in the front seat of an automobile, and we were descending a grade toward a cross street upon which street cars ran.

The first touch of the transforming power of Truth came to me through the healing of my wife, who attending physicians said could never recover, although everything that medical practice could do had been done, and their efforts had been faithful and untiring over a period of years. Right at that time a dear friend urged us to try Christian Science, and a practitioner was called by telephone, with the result that my wife was almost instantaneously healed.

In 1915 Christian Science was suggested to me as a chance to save the life of our very delicate baby boy. Then I repulsed it; indeed, I remember saying I never wished to hear it mentioned again.

For three years I was a great sufferer from tuberculosis of the kidneys and lungs, also heart trouble and nervousness. The last two diseases mentioned had given me trouble for nine or ten years.

At a time when all material means resorted to had failed, and it was said I had but few weeks to live, we turned to Christian Science; and I was quickly healed of what had been pronounced tuberculosis by physicians whose care I had been under continuously for a very long time. I had suffered for a number of years, not knowing what it meant to be completely free from pain, or distress of some kind, and manifesting alarming symptoms so frequently that fear seemed a constant companion.

Since beginning the study of Christian Science I have received many blessings. I want to speak of a beautiful healing from sprained ankle.

When Christian Science was presented to me, I was a nervous wreck, caused by stomach trouble from which I had suffered eight years. I was afraid to eat, for fear it would cause severe suffering; at times, it was so intense that I prayed to die.

When Christian Science came to the attention of our family, I was in a condition where I was entirely without hope, and only wishing for death to bring me relief. I had a complete nervous and mental breakdown, constant headaches, and was unable to sleep at night, dress, or care for myself.

It is with deep gratitude that I testify to the following healing, which took place under Christian Science treatment. In July, 1914, I became conscious of difficulty with my throat, which gradually increased for two days, until I was obliged to leave my work in the bank where I was employed and seek help from a Christian Science practitioner.
