Testimonies of Healing
Some ten years ago, out of the fullness of a grateful heart, I sent to our periodicals a testimony of the instantaneous healing of an infectious disease which included many so-called material laws of a discouraging character. This purification was as permanent as it was prompt, and is still bearing the fruits of righteousness.
I am grateful for the privilege of giving my testimony, having had many healings through the study and application of Christian Science. I have been able to leave off a body brace which had been worn for at least fifteen years.
After hearing and reading so many wonderful testimonies of healing in Christian Science I feel that I have not done my duty in not giving mine. In two treatments I was healed of ulcers of the stomach and very severe headaches.
A little over eight years ago I began the study of Christian Science in earnest. Before that I had been interested in it for a year or more, but had failed to appreciate it.
Christian Science was presented to me several years before I recognized it as the truth. In my early study the reading of the testimonies was a great help to me, and I am sending these words of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me with the hope that they may be a help to some one seeking the truth.
In gratitude for proof that "the word of God is quick and powerful," when intelligently applied to any situation or circumstance in accordance with the teachings of Christian Science, I lovingly submit the following testimony of healing. One very hot day last summer, while at play in the park my little seven-year-old son became exhausted and fell from the top of a ten-foot ladder.
I should like to add my testimony to the many that are constantly bearing witness to the efficacy of Christian Science in daily life. Whenever correctly applied it never fails to meet every need.
It is with a sense of deep gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy that I give this testimony in proof of what Christian Science has done for me.
In gratitude for the many blessings which I have received through the study of Christian Science I send this testimony, with the hope that it may help others. Before taking up the study of Christian Science I was most unhappy and miserable, going from one place to another in search of health and happiness, only to be disappointed.
After devoting several years, which to mortal sense seemed the best years of my life, to conscientious work as a materia medica nurse, I found myself struggling with the belief of a false law which was manifested in many phases of error. The argument was made very real "that there was very little if anything that could be done for one who was worn out in such service.
