Testimonies of Healing

I submit the following testimony, hoping it will be of some help to my fellow students of Christian Science. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for what this beautiful Christ, Truth, has done for me and mine.

Christian Science was brought to my notice at a time when I truly seemed to be without hope or God. In this extremity I reached out for anything that might afford relief.

Christian Science has healed me of infidelity. When a boy, my teaching in matters pertaining to religion was under a parent who did not believe in the Bible and who had secured all of the literature possible to prove his position.

I was instantaneously healed in Christian Science through reading the chapter on Prayer, in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Before I came into Christian Science, which is now over three years, I was a sufferer all my life, more or less with headaches.

This is to testify how deeply grateful I am for Christian Science. Words are inadequate to express all that my heart would say.

I have recently had an added proof of the power and goodness of God, for which I am most grateful and which may be of benefit to others at this time. I was attacked with influenza and for four days experienced intense physical suffering.

In March, 1912, I was stricken with what three of the best doctors in the state pronounced an incurable heart malady. Everything seemed to have gone wrong with that organ, including a ruptured condition that rendered me incapable of any exertion and very little exercise, and with the extreme penalty always hanging over my head.

When my weary journey brought me to the straight and narrow way of Christian Science, I was a trustee of a denominational church, and the first attention given to the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" was rather more with a sense of critical investigation of its merits than with any expectation of benefits therefrom. The teachings of my church had failed to heal the grief which had for many years oppressed me as the result of the passing away of a beloved sister.

I want to express my gratitude for Christian Science. It is a daily help to me in every problem and discord that appears and it is meeting every need with its healing message of love.

Now that I am again in full possession of my health, I am prompted to thank God from the bottom of my heart for my healing and for all the blessings of which I have been a recipient through Christian Science. Several years ago I stood at the brink of the grave, according to the doctor's verdict.
