Testimonies of Healing
I wish to express my deep gratitude for the many wonderful blessings I have received through Christian Science. Nearly two years ago a friend recommended Christian Science to me as a means of physical healing.
I rejoice in the privilege of being able to testify to the power of Truth. Five years ago, when I first sought help in Christian Science, I was in the very depths of human suffering, Medical skill afforded me ho relief.
I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and for my family. It would be impossible to estimate all the benefits and healings derived from this beautiful religion.
It is now three years since Christian Science was first brought to my notice by a very dear friend, and I would like to express my gratitude for the great benefits I have received through the knowledge of this beautiful teaching. At that time I was feeling very hopeless, for it seemed as though I was gradually becoming an invalid, and useless to those around me.
About five years ago I went to a practitioner to ask what Christian Science was. I had a vague idea it was some sort of mental cure for imaginary diseases, and was thinking it would be of benefit to my wife for nervousness.
The divine command, "Bring yc all the tithes into the storehouse," prompts this most grateful recognition of Love's blessings, received through Christian Science. During the past five or six years an unfoldment of the truth of being has been accompanied by many beneficial experiences.
When I became interested in Christian Science, all material means had failed me; but it meant much for me to throw aside medicine, give up the care of physicians, and try something which I knew absolutely nothing about. From childhood I had been taught to respect all religions and that every one had a right to his own belief; so when I took up the study of Christian Science for the physical healing, I was free from prejudice.
For some months it has occurred to me that I should send in a testimony giving at least a slight expression of gratitude for benefits received from the study and application of Christian Science. As a beginner in this study I feel deeply grateful for the fruits realized.
Christian Science has been my only physician for twenty-one years, as I was wonderfully healed when a girl after being given up by several physicians as incurable. They pronounced the trouble neuralgic rheumatism and dyspepsia.
Ten years ago my mother began to study Christian Science, and in my ignorance of the real nature of this teaching I thought, What foolish fad will she take up next? When, however, in two weeks she was healed of a discordant condition of several years' standing, I knew that there must be some truth in Christian Science, so began to pick up the Sentinel and read it when no one was looking. About two months after I began to study this wonderful subject, we had a healing in our home that proved the power of Christian Science beyond the shadow of a doubt.
