Testimonies of Healing

On reading in Psalms, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy," I realized it was time that my gratitude and love for Christian Science were expressed; for it has proved to me that it is the truth that heals both sickness and sin. I was brought up in a strict orthodox church, but later on drifted away from things religious and even ceased to pray, for I could not honestly say, "Thy will be done.

I feel it is my duty to tell of a wonderful demonstration in mental surgery. My husband and I are in the theatrical profession, and during the performance one evening he fell to the floor from a height of sixteen or eighteen feet, landing on his face and hands, unconscious.

In the spring of 1911 I became very ill, and my physician was of the opinion that I had kidney disease. As time went on my condition became worse.

Christian Science came into my life about eight years ago, but while having a slight knowledge of the truth, for some time I did not apply it in the adjustment of the seeming disturbances which to mortal sense are so much a part of one's physical and financial conditions. For several years my work was that of a traveling salesman, and it was necessary for me to be on the road nearly all the time.

When Christian Science was first brought to my notice in March, 1912, I lived with my children in the northwestern part of Russia. My husband had lung trouble and was told by the doctors that he could never again pass the cold months there, so he spent ten years in Nice, France, and its environments, returning to our country only for a few summer months.

Christian Science came into my life eleven years ago, and though I did not seek it for physical healing at the time, I was struck with its logic and the wonderful new light it throws on the nature of God as Love, the Father-Mother of man made in His image and likeness. It has brought innumerable blessings into my life and every need in our home has been supplied.

My first healing, about fourteen years ago, was from the effects of an accident in which my back was injured. This injury, together with other physical troubles, so affected the spine that I was rendered practically helpless and had to stay in bed.

I wish to express my appreciation of the good that Christian Science has brought to me. I have not taken any material remedy since beginning the study of this teaching about five years ago.

It is with a heart filled with gratitude that I testify to the healing and regenerative powers of Christian Science. It was not until materia medica had been given a thorough test and found wanting that I turned to the healing Christ.

I would hereby express my gratefulness for the Lord's Prayer and for its enrichment by the better understanding given us through its spiritual interpretation by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, as found on page 16 of Science and Health.
