Testimonies of Healing

It has been the desire of our family for three years past to express our gratitude for the beautiful and perfect healing of my brother. While he was working on a barbed wire machine in one of our large factories, his leg was caught by a twisted wire and drawn into the machine to his thigh before he was able to shut off the power.

Christian Science has been a great blessing to me for nineteen years. I came to it for the healing of a distressing trouble for which I had been treated by physicians two years without success.

I wish to express my gratitude to God for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science. I had suffered from enlarged glands all my life and had undergone three operations with only temporary relief.

When I first heard of Christian Science I thought that those who denied the testimony of their eyes and other senses, were not quite normal; and though I had received from my sister a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, it stood for several years untouched in my bookcase.

Christian Science came to me as a great light shining into the darkness. My only motive for taking up the study of it was to see if it would give me a clearer understanding of God, and it did; for it opened up the Bible as a great storehouse, and showed me the law of Love as able to dispel all human woe.

For over three years I have enjoyed the wonderful help of Christian Science. From childhood I had felt a great lack of something in my life, but could not understand what it was and never hoped to have the need supplied in the present world.

Christian Science has brought so much happiness and health into my life that I feel more and more grateful every day for this healing truth. I heard of it twelve years ago from my daughter, to whom some of the literature had been sent, and she was very anxious that I should try it.

For countless benefits which are mine through sharing in that unspeakable gift, Christian Science, and for the enrichment and regeneration of thought received through our periodicals, I acknowledge with deep gratitude my indebtedness to God and to our wise and loving Leader. Often in the study of the Lesson-Sermon or while reading the literature I feel that treasures beyond price have been placed in my hands.

I have had so many healings through Christian Science that I hardly know what to tell first. The one that stands out most clearly, however, was the overcoming of inflammatory rheumatism.
