Testimonies of Healing

I feel it my duty to express my gratitude for the enlightenment and good I have received through the study of Christian Science. I had attended many churches of different denominations, but none appealed to me, as none of them gave me an understanding of the Bible.

I wish to express my gratitude for the healing truth of Christian Science. My first visit to a Christian Science church was from curiosity and I did not go again until four years later, when a friend invited me to go with her, and I was so impressed that I have been attending ever since.

A recent experience has led me to send in this testimony to show that if we protect our thought sufficiently with good all things will work together for our good, as the Bible declares. A few Sundays ago, before going to bed I worked many hours over a problem that I had seemed to have great difficulty in solving.

It is with the greatest joy and gratitude that I am sending my testimony of all that Christian Science has done and is doing for me. I came into Christian Science about four years ago seeking help for one who is very near and dear to me.

Gratitude for what a slight knowledge of Christian Science has done for me makes me want to tell my experience, hoping that it may be of help to some beginner. Three years ago a dear friend became interested in Christian Science and was so helped by it that she was keen to tell me what she had learned.

It is with a heart filled with gratitude that I send my testimony of the healings received through Christian Science. It was through a very dear friend who herself had been benefited that I first heard of this wonderful teaching.

For many years I had been a very weakly woman, suffering from a prolapse peritonitis, and stomach trouble also many minor complaints, and the physicians had pronounced my case incurable. In 1903.

I feel that I should acknowledge the blessings that have come to me through the study of Christian Science and the loving help of practitioners. A serious illness lasting through several years began with what the doctors called chronic appendicitis.

I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing but because it answered all the questionings, doubts, and yearnings for a more practical religion, that had been mine since girlhood. And it was the satisfying explanation of the life and work of Christ Jesus, which had previously seemed to me to be like the story of some beautiful wonder-working Greek god, but of no practical avail to us.

For thirteen years our family of four have depended solely on Christian Science for healing. In the family we have experienced the healing of diphtheria, bronchial trouble, bowel and stomach disorders, colds, influenza, rheumatism, and indigestion, also of the result of accidents.
