Testimonies of Healing

With a grateful and happy heart I wish to testify to the wonderful manner in which God's love protected and guided me during the war and the help which I have received through Christian Science. As I was going to the front, this serious question confronted me: "What stand shall I take toward my opponent during the battle?" The answer was the simple statement: made by Mrs.

It is with much gratitude that I send in this testimony of the healing of my eyes. It is seven years or so since this demonstration was made, and I have awakened to the fact that it is well nigh time I was sending it in to the Sentinel or Journal.

It is now six years since I first heard of or learned anything about Christian Science. I was then living with a family in Switzerland, one of whom had been healed through Science.

I have so much for which to be grateful that I scarcely know how to begin. About nine years ago I was healed through the clear thinking of a dear sister, after being told by two of our best surgeons that without a surgical operation I would never be well.

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.

My gratitude for the wonderful healing, chastening, and uplifting, yet divinely natural light experienced through even the least understanding of Christian Science, is quite beyond expression either in word or deed. Only through striving to attain to a closer walk with God and with some measure of loving service can gratitude be expressed.

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.

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.

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.
