Testimonies of Healing

I am happy to say that in 1913 I was healed in five days of what the physician of the company by which I was at that time employed pronounced to be a violent case of blood poisoning, that had entirely closed my right eye and had resulted in the right side of my face turning black. Through the help of a practitioner I returned to work in five days, and was grateful for the operation of God's law through which, since then, I have had instant healings when error has tried to manifest itself.

It is now nearly nine years since I first took a serious interest in Christian Science. I had heard of it before, but regarded it as some strange fad and wondered what sort of church service could possibly be held in connection with it.

For some time I have felt I should bring my tithe to the storehouse, but words are inadequate to express my gratitude for all Christian Science has meant and still means to us. My first help was received six years ago when a little daughter came to our home.

That Christian Science is the truth and is demonstrable has been proved to me over and over again. It was for the healing of tuberculosis of the lungs that I turned to Christian Science.

IN the spirit of obedience to the law of Love I desire to testify through the columns of the Journal to the benefits received through Christian Science, as revealed by Mary Baker Eddy. It has proved to me to be both physician and surgeon, which blesses and heals.

Christian Science has been a source of great joy to me and I wish to share with others some of the benefits received therefrom. In the winter of 1919 I was ill with what the doctor called influenza.

To me the most wonderful thing in the world is the proving of God's presence and power. Each proof brings a sense of sudden joy almost like a glad surprise, because it is so different from anything life seemed to offer before I learned of Christian Science.

I wish to bear thankful testimony to a growing realization of God's unfailing love and tender care, as each day I study and try to make practical the teachings of the Bible through the interpretation given them by our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

My attention was first seriously directed toward Christian Science about ten years ago. I was at that time publishing a weekly newspaper, in the Middle West, and in one of its issues made what appeared to be a slighting allusion, in a supposedly humorous way, to the tenacity with which Christian Scientists cling to their belief in the truths—as I afterwards found them to be—taught by Mrs.

It is difficult to find words with which to express gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. Christian Science was introduced to me by a friend, whom I first met at a convalescent home, where I had occasion to stay after a Ions? illness.
