Testimonies of Healing

I have been interested in Christian Science over seven years, and wish to express gratitude for the healing in one day of what is known as dengue, although ordinarily people are incapacitated by this disease for several weeks. A small son fell and dislocated his arm at the elbow.

I wish to testify with gratitude to the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. Though most unruly and mischievous as a boy and in later years a slave to evil beliefs and practices, I was always deeply touched by real goodness and had a strong belief in the power of prayer and in God's protection; therefore, when after many years of struggle I one day (in 1912) picked up a copy of Science and Health which my mother had brought over from England, I knew that at last I had found the truth.

I have always felt the need of a religious life; but I never found a religion that met the spiritual requirements, until I commenced reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

I Want to give this testimony in gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy for what the study of Christian Science has taught me, and in the hope that it will reach those who may be having the seeming trouble I had.

It would be very ungrateful for me to wait any longer to give my testimony about the many blessings that have come to me and to my family through the knowledge of Christian Science. I did not turn to it for physical healing, but because what I heard of its teachings appealed to me.

In loving gratitude for all that Christian Science has done and is daily doing for me I send this testimony. In the year 1912 I was in a very discordant mental and physical condition.

Twelve years ago, when I first turned to Christian Science for help, I had the great joy of recovering the sight of my right eye, which four of the best oculists in England had pronounced destroyed, and of being freed from a condition of both eyes which obliged me to have the eyelids burned every fortnight, kept me half the time in a darkened room, and never allowed me to go out of doors without blue glasses and two or three veils. Since then, with two exceptions due to shock and sorrow, I have enjoyed exceptionally good health; but not long ago I had an experience of the power of Christian Science to help quickly and fully, which I should like to share with others.

Christian Science has been all to us for the last five years and a half. It found me dissatisfied with the church of which I was a member, yet too ignorantly prejudiced to accept this healing truth at once.

The first time I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I was healed of what had seemed for years serious eye trouble.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I tell of my healings through Christian Science. For over four years I had been a sufferer from what was claimed to be muscular contraction or leakage of the valves of the heart, and eight physicians pronounced me incurable.
