Testimonies of Healing

I wish I could tell of all the good things that Christian Science has done for me and also for the others of our family. Our son, now twenty-four years of age, has not tasted medicine since he was a baby, and when he took the physical examination for service in the army he was pronounced one hundred per cent perfect, excepting his teeth, which needed a little attention.

About two years ago, while using some dry washing powder I got some in one of my eyes. The pain was very severe.

Shortly after coming into Christian Science I noticed that Christian Scientists did not use tobacco. I asked a Scientist the reason why.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and my family. The first blessing received was the healing of my son, who had a high fever and was delirious.

I feel very grateful for all that Christian Science has done for me; it is about nine years since I first heard of it through a friend. I was suffering from an internal complaint and had been attended for about two years by several doctors who said I would in all probability develop consumption.

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.

Early one morning, while I was working as an engineer in a large hotel in Boston, my hand was caught in a belt on a small engine. The engine was not running at high speed, but I was drawn into it and thrown over into the space between it and the ammonia condenser.

I have much to be thankful for. Over seven years ago, by the advice of very dear friends I was induced to take Christian Science treatment from a Christian Science practitioner.
