Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science has brought many blessings into my experience. I came into a knowledge of the truth through treatment for severe inflammatory rheumatism of many years' standing, which medicine, mineral springs, and doctors' prescriptions had failed to cure.
Having received so many benefits from reading the testimonies in the Sentinel and Journal I should like to take this opportunity of expressing at least a portion of my gratitude. Several years ago I was given proof of the statement that "man's extremity is God's opportunity.
I wish to tell of some of the blessings that have come to me and mine through the study of Christian Science. I have been cured of constipation from which I had suffered all my life.
About eighteen years ago my eyes became badly affected. I suffered greatly and was obliged to stay in a darkened room most of the time and when coming into the light I wore glasses that were almost black.
On November 11, 1918, Armistice Day, a day memorable to all, especially to the soldier, the roar of the Sims ceased, and "there was a great calm. " While the tumult of this particular stage of the strife between right and wrong has died away in the distance, the spiritual lessons coming to me from my participation in the war have endured and will be a constant source of inspiration.
Impelled by a pure desire to express my gratitude for the many benefits derived from the study and application of what I have gained through studying Christian Science, I send this testimony. I have been healed morally and I have been healed of poverty.
It is with gratitude to God and deep appreciation of Mrs. Eddy that I add my testimony of benefits received through Christian Science.
About four years ago our eldest son was taken suddenly ill while preparing for school. The condition was such that I became greatly alarmed and called in our family physician.
My attention was first attracted to Christian Science by seeing my wife healed in a few hours of a severe attack of pneumonia. A practitioner was called over the long-distance telephone in the evening, and in a short time my wife was better, and by morning she was perfectly free from every symptom.
I am very glad to have this opportunity to bear testimony to the healing power of Christian Science. For several years I suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble.
