Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my great and heartfelt gratitude to God for the help that Christian Science is to me in my daily life. Through trying to follow its teachings I am able to lead a more useful life than I ever dreamed of doing, and peace and joy are my constant companions.

The dawn of a new day and the real commencement of a new life, one free from pain and suffering, came with my beginning the study of Christian Science. The doctors having given me up as hopeless after years of suffering, and having left me thus to face the future, the dawning of a little hope was so big a wonder that I just had to study, with the result that I gained slow but sure relief from the pains of a rheumatic condition, supposedly left from a vaccination, and was healed of frequent attacks of pleurisy, neuralgia, and many other discordant conditions.

I came into Christian Science through my son's healing of a tubercular disease of the spine. Many doctors had been tried, but he was in a cast and nearly helpless.

For a number of years I was affected with stomach trouble. Physicians all did their part faithfully, but as they gave me only temporary relief the proposed was made to me that I give up materia medica and try Christian Science.

It is for the spiritual uplift and moral regeneration that I am most grateful to Christian Science. When I began to study Christian Science I was a tobacco fiend and was drinking intoxicating liquors to excess.

Recently I met an old-time acquaintance who spoke of my laying aside glasses, and of how wonderful it seemed to her. Certainly this demonstration over defective eyesight is a cause for deepest gratitude.

I have had so much help from Christian Science that I am sending my testimony to express a little of the gratitude I feel. When very young my sister and I had to turn out into the world without money or home.

I also would like to express my gratitude for Christian Science and the many benefits, both physical and mental, I have derived. Several years ago while passing through a swinging door in great haste, my middle finger was cut and severed at the base of the nail.

About six years ago Christian Science healed me of an attack of grippe. The healing was almost instantaneous, and with the realization that I had been healed came a desire to understand Christian Science.

I have been interested in Christian Science ever since it was first brought to my attention when I was twelve years old, and have studied the Christian Science Bible Lessons for ten years. In that time I have found it a practical help in every trouble.
