Testimonies of Healing

In the third epistle of John we read, "Beloved. I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

With a grateful heart I would like to tell of the many physical healings that have come to me through the study and application of the truth as taught in Christian Science. A stubborn claim of constipation of many years' standing has vanished; the use of glasses, worn for many years, has been dispensed with, and foot plates also worn constantly since childhood have been discarded.

In May, 1919, I was stricken severely with inflammation of the lining of the middle ear. Two operations were performed by a specialist, but the ear became more sensitive constantly and the pains shot through the entire head.
