Testimonies of Healing

It is with a deep sense of gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me that I am sending this testimony. About six years ago I had what the doctors termed a nervous breakdown.

It has been my desire for some time to express my gratitude for the understanding of God and His perfect creation which has been revealed to me through the study of Christian Science. The first time the light of Truth dawned upon my darkened sense was indeed most wonderful.

I wish to express gratitude for my healing and for the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science, and especially for having been led in the way of Truth. Three years ago I was engaged as nurse in a hospital and had typhoid fever patients in my charge.

I am glad to tell of the many blessings and proofs of God's loving and protecting care which I have received through Christian Science. Christian Science healed me of an incurable disease after all material means had failed.

I can vouch for the above testimony as being correct in every detail. Through my daughter's wonderful healing, after years of suffering and the failure of materia medica even to relieve her, I too turned to Christian Science and had some wonderful healings.

I did not become a Christian Scientist through regard for my health. The truth of Christian Science appealed to me, as well as its effect upon one's everyday life.

We hear so much now of suffering from insomnia that I am sending an account of my healing in the hope that it may bring relief to some one. I had been for many years an invalid from nervous dyspepsia or some kindred trouble, and although I had been under the care of several doctors, some of whom were very kind and painstaking, material remedies were worse than useless, for I was constantly in such severe pain that opiates of greater and greater strength had at last to be administered.

I shall never find words enough in the English language to express my thanks for the good Christian Science has done for me during years of trial with sickness, family losses, business difficulties, and many other trying affairs in everyday life. When medicine failed, God helped me even-time.

Over three years ago Christian Science was brought into our home by a very dear relative, and since that time has been our only physician, and we are daily proving that divine Love does meet our every need when the truth is rightly applied. Before learning of Christian Science, we had come to the end of our hope in materia medica, having had much sickness, and believe it safe to say that not once did materia medica ever restore us to health, for we were told many times that we must submit to the conditions.

In an article written by a correspondent in France something less than two years ago, was the statement that whereas for four weary years Lille had been a city of bitter bondage, she has now become, through the advance of the Allied Forces, "a city of splendid thanksgiving. " At once I saw that that is what the columns of testimony in the Christian Science Sentinel and Journal are,—namely, "a city of splendid thanksgiving.
