Testimonies of Healing

A little more than four years ago I was healed by reading the Christian Science Sentinel. For a year and a half I had been taking medicine four times a day for what the doctors said was rheumatism in my head.

I am truly grateful for the many blessings which I have received through the study of Christian Science. One demonstration which I am most grateful for is the healing of periods of unconsciousness which had been bothering me for some years.

I feel impelled to sing the praises of God because He has dealt so bountifully with me. During the past little over three years I have received so many blessings through the work of a practitioner and the study of Christian Science that I hardly know how to enumerate them all.

My testimony to the blessing of Christian Science differs, I fancy, from some I have read, inasmuch as it was not for its healing power I was attracted to it, nor have I wonderful accounts of physical healing to recount. Being that uncommon thing in this age, a healthy woman, I had become indifferent to religion of any sort.

I desire to add my testimony to those of the great number who have been healed through Christian Science. I was healed of the desire for liquor and tobacco and the use of profane language upon my first reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I first became interested in Christian Science through attending a lecture on that subject, after which I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mrs. Eddy, on account of a depressed mental condition.

I am very grateful for Christian Science, for through it I have found God. Before coming into Christian Science I went to a denominational church but was never really satisfied and did not know what or where God is.

It is my sincere desire that this testimony may help another seeker for health and happiness as the testimonies of others have helped me, when I was in need of a better understanding of God. I am a member of a branch church and regularly attend the services, and consider it my duty to express through one of our periodicals my deepest gratitude to God and to all who have helped me to understand Christian Science.

I have delayed sending this testimony, finding it difficult to express adequately in words the wonderful work accomplished by Christian Science. For the past twelve years or more I have relied upon it entirely for healing and have proved it to be the truth.

My share in the blessings of Christian Science has been great, one of which was the overcoming of restlessness which I seemed unable to control, which forced me again and again, as a nurse, to leave a case or any employment anywhere, within a few hours or a few days. No amount of money was sufficient to induce me to stay naturally at work, because of insistent restlessness.
