Testimonies of Healing

I am so thankful for all the blessings I have received through Christian Science that I wish to send my testimony that it may help others. In August, 1917, when my brother was wounded, a friend gave me a Christian Science Sentinel.

I hereby wish to express my deepest gratitude for all that Christian Science has done and is still doing for me. I first heard of Christian Science in 1916, through a friend, when I had dragged myself around for years in great mental distress.

Through Christian Science I have been enabled to lay aside my glasses, to the use of which I seemed condemned for life. Through Science treatment I was relieved overnight of the cigarette smoking habit, although I had required from forty to fifty cigarettes a day and made many attempts to overcome it through will power.

I am very thankful to God and to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science, which has done and is doing so much good for the whole world.

Five years ago I was healed of rheumatism, after all medical treatment had failed to cure. I have also been healed of tumor in three months' treatment, pneumonia in one treatment, and of susceptibility to colds and sick headaches.

I wish to add my expression of gratitude to the above testimony, for the many blessings which we have been privileged to experience in our family. In the summer of 1917 my eighty-one-year-old mother manifested a swelling of the glands of the neck.

With sincere gratitude I wish to testify to a healing received through Christian Science in 1918. I was stricken with pleurisy and pneumonia.

In talking with a friend recently I remarked, "If Christian Science offered no help at all in time of sickness, it would still be the greatest blessing in the world in teaching one how to live," and my own experience has been proof of the statement. Although raised in a denominational church I gave up even church attendance at the earliest opportunity.

For a number of years I have been a student of Christian Science, but as my interest was not occasioned by physical healing I have only recently realized that it is not only my duty but a privilege to testify through the periodicals to the benefits derived from the study of this teaching. When I ask myself, "What benefits have you derived?" I am overwhelmed with the number and the magnitude of them.

Having had a most wonderful healing, I feel it a joy to tell it to others. A few months ago I fell and dislocated my left shoulder and broke the large bone of the arm.
