Testimonies of Healing

Often in reading the testimonies in our periodicals I have found a thought expressed in such a way that it would bring freedom and light where there had been seeming bondage and I hope my words may help some one. I have been healed of chronic quinsy, and my two little girls have been healed of measles, whooping cough, and chicken-pox.

Nearly five years ago I was healed in three days by Christian Science treatment, of so-called intestinal tuberculosis, peritonitis, the effects of ptomaine poisoning, neurasthenia, throat trouble, and weak voice continuing after six operations, also many complications; but more than all else was the spiritual and mental healing. I was as unhappy and restless in thought in the orthodox church as I was sick in body under materia medica.

Christian Science was brought to me when I was most miserable, and after reading "Miscellaneous Writings" by Mrs. Eddy for some weeks I applied to a practitioner for treatment.

I Have had abundant proof that God is an ever present and available power under any condition. In October, 1908, after all material remedies had failed, so that I was facing a future of invalidism, at the urgent request of a sister who had been instantaneously healed of a structural defect of the eyes through Christian Science, I reluctantly consented, to give it a trial.

About nine years ago in my search for health I was drawn to Christian Science. Too convincing have been the proofs of the power of divine Love in the intervening years to allow me to doubt for an instant its efficacy under any condition.

I have been studying Christian Science for about three years and a half and have had many proofs of God's protecting care and ever presence. When our little girl was a year and a half old she had acute lung trouble and convulsions at the same time.

I want to express deepest gratitude for all the blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life. I have been sustained, protected, and strengthened all along the way.

Five years ago I was healed of a severe form of skin trouble by reading the chapter on Prayer in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

In the fall of 1903 I was taken with an attack of neuralgia in the left side of the face. I had been suffering for several days, when the afflicted part began to turn black and there came a large lump on the jawbone.

When I was twelve years of age Christian Science came into our home through a wonderful change brought about in my mother. Physicians had said she could not possibly live six months without an operation, but after two weeks' treatment in Christian Science she returned to us with a light of joy in her face that I had never seen before.
