Testimonies of Healing

I have been wonderfully blessed through Christian Science. In 1912 I became acquainted with a lady who was a Christian Scientist and found her a wonderful help.

I heard of Christian Science about seven years ago. At the time I was very much opposed to its teachings and words cannot express how grateful I am now to be learning what the true teachings of Christian Science are.

I wish to express my gratitude for all the good which has come to me through Christian Science. I have been healed of many discordant physical conditions, such as sore eyes, broken arches, heart disease, and toothache.

Before coming into Christian Science I seemed to have lost all hope and ambition in life and spent many hours in loneliness and despair, but always praying, with the hope that God would adjust things so that I would be happier. Then I became acquainted with a lady who invited me to live in her home and I gladly accepted her invitation.

I have great joy in sharing with others my proof of Christian Science healing, in that I have learned to prove the power of divine Love not only in a time of great tribulation but at all times. Although I was reared in Christian Science and attended the Sunday school I soon learned that merely believing in its teaching could never heal, but that Christian Science must be understood and demonstrated.

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. For many years after my marriage I tried to understand God and the Bible.

With a grateful heart I give this testimony of my quick healing in Christian Science. For fifteen years I had not been without medical treatment, and was constantly becoming worse, suffering greatly from nerve and stomach trouble.

May we never cease expressing our gratitude for Christian Science in the way our dear Leader tells us to do on page 4 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," where she says, "To keep the commandments of our Master and follow his example, is our proper debt to him and the only worthy evidence of our gratitude for all that he has done. " The above words quoted from Science and Health seemed at my first reading of the book to ring over and over in my thought day and night.

Having received great benefits through reading the testimonies of others, I feel that I would indeed be ungrateful to withhold mine any longer. Christian Science was first brought to my notice through a son whose eyes had been greatly benefited by the truth presented to him by a faithful practitioner and through the study of Science and Health.

AT the time Christian Science came to me I was at the very lowest ebb of human resources, physically and mentally. I had been suffering from nervous prostration, severe headaches, and many other ailments from which it seemed impossible to secure relief.
