Testimonies of Healing

Feeling the great need of expressing my gratitude to God for Christian Science I submit this testimony. When I began to investigate Christian Science I had no great need of physical healing, but I was healed of many erroneous thoughts and beliefs through the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science. While I was preparing to leave on a trip there were several things which needed my attention, and in attending to one of these duties I had occasion to use a very strong corrosive (lye), and in ignorance of its nature used it very freely.

When my little girl was first presented to me I remarked that she had peculiar looking feet, but the nurse laughingly said she was very fat and I rejoiced in the thought that my baby was perfect. When she was ten days old, however, another nurse, who was bathing her in my room, told me the baby had crippled feet.

Like many grateful ones I desire to send my testimony of spiritual and physical healing, hoping it may be of help to others. About fifteen years ago I was healed through absent treatment of nervous prostration.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to write my testimony and share with others my individual experience in proof of the fact that Christian Science heals the sick. In the spring of 1912 I had nervous prostration, and my attending physician so declared it.

When I first heard of Christian Science I had been in poor health for over sixteen years. I scarcely knew a day in that time when I was free from pain.

Deep gratitude for Christian Science impels me to testify to some of the experiences passed through during the warring years, demonstrating the practical applicability of Truth and Love. In 1914 I went to the front, and in February, 1915, was wounded by a revolver shot.

I must express just a little of what I feel for what Christian Science has done for me. At a time when I felt that I was not long for this world, I was led by that "still small voice" to ask for something to read on Christian Science.

Having received constant benefits since I began the study of Christian Science, about four years ago. I realize it is my privilege to share a few of these experiences with others.

For many years I suffered very much from throat trouble and was under several different doctors, who, after trying various remedies, each in turn declared he could do no more for me. I was also going to two specialists in London, one of whom I was under for many months.
