Testimonies of Healing

It was indeed through trials and tribulations that I was led to seek the help of Christian Science. It was God's loving answer to my prayer when in the wilderness I cried out for light and strength.

For about five years I have been studying Christian Science, and during that time have received so many blessings I could not begin to name them all. I was not at all interested in anything pertaining to religion, very rarely went to church, and knew practically nothing of the Bible.

During the summer of 1911 a friend explained to me something of the healing work being accomplished through Christian Science. At that time I was very much under the belief of sickness, and was a constant sufferer from long-standing stomach and bowel trouble.

A few years ago I fell, while in the mountains, and injured my spine. After the physicians had told me they could do nothing for me, that an abscess was likely to form and the end of the spine might have to be removed, and after suffering untold agony for a year, as a last resort I went to a Christian Science practitioner.

I cannot find words to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. Through reading the Bible and the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

When I became interested in Christian Science I was to mortal sense a physical wreck, and burdened with all the sins known to mortal mind; yet I did not come into Science for the healing of any of these things. A friend invited me to attend Sunday services with him, and not knowing what church he was in the habit of attending I accepted the invitation.

I should like to express some of the gratitude which feel for all the help I have had in Christian Science since I began the study of it six years ago, not with a view to physical healing, but to find out what it was about and whether it was the truth. In a few months I was healed of several ailments which I had been told were chronic, in some cases with help from a practitioner and in others merely through studying the Bible together with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

I wish to express my great thankfulness for all the good that has come into my life since I got the opportunity, eight years ago to learn about Christian Science. I did not turn to it on account of physical illness, although I had been delicate since childhood, had been treated by doctors, and had gone through several operations.

I turned to God for healing in a time of great stress, yet the spiritual uplift has been of so much greater value that in my joy the past ills are often forgotten until I see some other wanderer groping in the darkness. Over two years ago after seeking for years in every direction for relief from a legion of ills, and being brought to the very end of mortal existence, as it were, I turned unreservedly to Christian Science for help and almost instantaneously was entirely relieved of all symptoms of cancer of the stomach.

This testimony is given in loving gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. When I became interested in this teaching I had been wearing glasses for over twenty years for what one of the best specialists in Providence called astigmatism.
