Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. I first learned what Christian Science is through a dear sister, and I have thanked God many times for the truths it has taught me.

I Rejoice in Christian Science because I know it is the truth that our Master said would make men free, free from what? From sin, sickness and death, because there is no life or truth in matter, since God is All-in-all and man is His image and likeness. When my attention was first called to this healing truth, which revealed to our Leader.

With deep gratitude I should like to try and enumerate some of the blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life. When I first began the study of this wonderful Christ-teaching, I was a constant sufferer from neuralgia, indigestion, inaction, and a painful and chronic form of nasal catarrh.

The desire to express gratitude for the many blessings received through Christian Science, together with the hope that my experience may encourage others, impels me to send this testimony to the power of Truth to heal. These words of Jesus, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," are quoted on one of the front flyleaves of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

I am very grateful that through Christian Science, which has been in my home since I was four or five years old no seriously discordant condition has arisen to be overcome, although many minor manifestations of wrong belief have quickly yielded to the application of the truth. I am very grateful for the chastisements of divine Love which have recalled me to my post when at times the temptation has come to be lax in guarding my thoughts, and by these gentle reminders have made the direction of omnipotent wisdom once again apparent in every little detail of living.

Christian Science is the greatest blessing that has come into my life. I took up the study of it thirteen years ago although I had been interested in it for some time before, but in rather a criticizing, bitter way, especially toward Mrs.

With gratitude and love I send this testimony, trusting it will help someone who is seeking the truth, who is in need of the healing power of God's great love. Every day I have proof of God's loving-kindness to mankind.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me, and for the truth about God which Christian Science teaches. My first demonstration was at a time when every material remedy failed to heal me of a serious nervous breakdown, in which I had not only lost control of my nerves but was unable to attend to my light household duties or to walk any distance without suffering mental and physical exhaustion.

The Bible was practically a closed book to me because I could not understand or enjoy reading it, although I did so from a sense of duty. When Christian Science was presented to me, I felt it was just exactly what I had thought religion ought to be and hoped it was all true, although I was rather skeptical regarding the healing because I had neither seen nor heard of any remarkable cure.

The following is a brief expression of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and for other members of my family. A great many years ago my mother was healed, in one treatment, of severe stomach trouble, and has never had a return of it.
