Testimonies of Healing

It is more than two years since we took up the study of Christian Science in our home, for which we have reason to be most grateful. Although I was reared in a Christian home I never felt fully satisfied and at times felt almost rebellious toward God.

I have been studying and applying the rule of scientific healing given by Mrs. Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" for eight years, and have been healed of acute indigestion, rheumatism, headaches, and many minor ills, some with the help of a practitioner and others through the truth that had come to me through my own spiritual understanding.

It is with deep gratitude that I wish to testify to all the help that I have received and am daily receiving through the study of Christian Science. When I first heard of this wonderful truth some years ago, I was at once attracted by the spiritual teaching but did not at first think much about the healing of disease, which is, as I very soon found out, a natural sequence of the righteous thinking that one learns to do in Christian Science.

I am indeed grateful for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. When Christian Science came to me, my little boy and I were greatly in need of help.

I have received so much help from the testimonies of others that I think mine will surely help some one. Years ago, during an epidemic of tonsillitis, all my children were down with it, and one especially was very ill.

The following experience of the instantaneous availability of Christian Science has given me much encouragement, and I relate it in the hope that it will help some one else. Although I have made a daily study of Christian Science for eleven years, I have time and again allowed myself to abstain from attempting a demonstration of its healing power in cases of physical ailments, although I often received help from practitioners for both myself and family.

Realizing that it is the duty of every Christian Scientist as well as a privilege to express our thankfulness for the many blessings bestowed upon us by the wonderful truth as given to us through Mrs. Eddy's "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I wish to give my testimony of healing, hoping thereby to help others.

I want to express my gratitude to God for leading me to Christian Science. It is the greatest blessing that has come into my life.

After many years of sickness, and just as I was able, after a severe illness, to walk out, I met an acquaintance who had been an invalid for nineteen years, who insisted on telling me how wonderfully she had been healed by Christian Science. I had never heard of Christian Science before, and being more interested in my own aches and troubles, paid little attention at first to what she said.

With a thankful heart I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science. During the year 1913, a friend from America, who was visiting here, called my attention to Christian Science, and after that I received Der Herold monthly and began to read it with interest.
