Testimonies of Healing

Several members of my family with myself came into Christian Science over three years ago, and since then we have experienced many and quick healings. Rheumatism, tonsillitis, gas (mine) poisoning, and other ills have been overcome, and glasses have been laid aside.

For several months I have felt that I ought to express my gratitude publicly for the beautiful healing that I have experienced in Christian Science. For two years I was in constant pain, although I had tried every conceivable remedy for rheumatism.

While living near Boston, during the spring of 1915, I was led by curiosity to attend a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in The Mother Church. I had then been wearing glasses for nearly fifteen years for a structural defect of the eyes, and the law had been laid down that glasses would always be needed.

I am grateful, indeed, for what Christian Science has done for me. I had been ill about three years and had undergone three operations, and when Christian Science came to me in December, 1916, it was twenty-one months since I had walked across my room.

On page 3 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy says: ''Are we really grateful for the good already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more.

A short time before Mrs. Eddy ordained the Bible and ''Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" to be the pastor of the Christian Science church, a minister came to the place where I then lived and preached what he at first called "the truth.

The past three years, during which time I have earnestly studied Christian Science, have been the happiest of my life. I have found this truth to be of practical value, a demonstrable religion, indeed "a very present help in trouble.

It is with a desire to encourage others to seek this healing and saving truth, which brings such peace, health, and happiness, that I offer this testimony. We have had many proofs of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God since we took up the study of Christian Science.

I am deeply grateful for all that Christian Science has done for me. In 1910 I commenced to suffer from a severe stomach disorder and other internal troubles.

Christian Science has indeed proved an efficacious remedy in many ways. Since becoming interested in its teachings I have been healed of a number of physical ills, among which was a goiter that to mortal sense was incurable.
