Testimonies of Healing
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.
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 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.
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.
A few years ago little hope was entertained for my recovery, as the doctors had practically given me up. I suffered from growths on the kidneys, dropsy, and serious organic troubles, besides being a drug fiend.
I have been healed through Christian Science of the liquor habit and a long line of other bad habits. While attending a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in 1918 I was healed of the tobacco habit, which I had indulged for about seventeen years, and have not been tempted to return to it.
In 1913 I expressed my gratitude for all the good I had received through Christian Science, having been healed of a severe attack of pleurisy without material aid and only through Christian Science, in a comparatively short time. A physician who, upon the request of my family, afterwards examined me, pronounced me a well woman.
I am very grateful for Christian Science and the beautiful healings that I have received, and to Mrs. Eddy for the rediscovery of the truth which Jesus taught and demonstrated.
I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and the many blessings I have received. For eight years I was under the care of doctors without any benefit, but instead getting worse all the time.
