Testimonies of Healing
I Feel it my duty to give my testimony of God's provision for and protection of His children. One morning in January, 1920, my wife informed me that we had no more bread, and that she did not know what to give our six children to eat.
I have often wanted to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for what it has done for me. Since I have found it, it has been my only comfort and joy.
With a heart full of gratitude I give this testimony in the hope that it may help another seeker after Truth. For a year I suffered from stomach trouble and nervous spells, which finally became daily occurrences, and the physicians whom I consulted were unable to do anything further for me.
As an expression of gratitude and a possible help to some one else, I wish to tell of a healing experienced about a year ago. An attack of neuritis came upon me at night, robbing me of sleep and disabling one of my arms.
I wish to add my testimony to others in gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. I took it up after trying everything else that had been recommended for my troubles, which were too numerous to mention.
So far as physical healing is concerned. Christian Science has been more of a preventive than a cure for me, for I have had the blessing of being practically brought up in Science and have hardly known what sickness was.
I came to Christian Science, not for physical healing, but because I was in search of a religion which could be proved. I was brought up in a denominational church and was faithful to its teaching, but did not find the deep peace or complete understanding of God which I desired.
After having been healed of many diseases, both of the chronic and acute types, to say nothing of other wonderful proofs of the omnipresence of God brought home to me through the study and application of Christian Science, in my everyday life. I feel it my duty to God, to our revered Leader.
I feel it a privilege as well as a duty to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for the benefits received, both mental and physical. I have been studying Christian Science for many years and have had healings too numerous to mention.
With grateful appreciation for the blessings which have come to me through Christian Science, I desire through my testimony to help those who may be surrounded by inharmonious conditions to see the right way. Everything in the line of material medicine had been tried but without results, but through Christian Science, and encouraged by a practitioner whose help enabled me to strive for the attainable good with unswerving patience, although my senses often wanted to rob me of the hope of ever becoming well again, I was completely restored and am now healthier than ever before.
