Testimonies of Healing
It is with deep gratitude for Christian Science that I am prompted to give this testimony of its healing efficacy. I had suffered for many years from stomach trouble, which various doctors and specialists diagnosed as gallstones, floating kidneys, ulcers of the stomach, et cetera.
From earliest childhood I had understood very little about God and my relation to Him, and really took no interest in the subject. As the years passed I came to believe myself an infidel, and a great admirer of Ingersoll.
Christian Science has so changed my life that when I look back on what I went through without it I am truly grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to others who have so lovingly helped me.
When Christian Science first came to me I was under a great mental strain. I could not, it seemed, see a ray of light.
Words indeed fail to express my gratitude for Christian Science. It is nearly four years since I took it up, not for physical healing, but because I was not satisfied with what I had, and I am indeed grateful to be able to say I have found more than I ever expected to, for I have indeed found the pearl of great price, which has brought harmony of mind, peace, and the healing of a discontented life.
It sometimes takes a complete getting away from one's accustomed surroundings to give one a fuller realization of what the study of Christian Science means. Lately, during a journey by land and water, I have seen more fully the advantage of an understanding of an omnipotent and omnipresent God.
It is with a deep feeling of love for Mrs. Eddy that I express my gratitude for Christian Science.
I wish to add my testimony to the wonderful benefits I have received through the study of Christian Science. About eighteen years ago I was visiting in a home of Christian Scientists and had my first glimpse of the truth; I was healed in a few hours of a bad sprain and bruises received in a fall down a flight of stairs.
That this testimony to the power of Truth as revealed in Christian Science may help some one is my sincere desire. I shall always remember the occasion on which this religion of Love was revealed to us and with what a wealth of love we were told of God's wonderful care.
I look back over the past year with gratitude for good that has come to me, for the many problems that have been satisfactorily solved through Christian Science, and for the knowledge of God as Love and ever present. I have been healed of many physical discords, for which I am exceedingly grateful; financial difficulties that seemed insurmountable have been overcome.
