Testimonies of Healing

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.

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.

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.

I was first attracted to Christian Science by seeing what it was doing for my sister-in-law, and it is with a sense of gratitude to God that I testify to our little son's almost instantaneous healing. He was cross and fussy on a Friday and appeared very feverish.

" Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. " Surely those who are earnest students of Christian Science have lifted up their heads and into their lives is coming "the King of glory.

Gratitude for benefits received prompts me to write this testimony. A little over a year ago I became deeply interested in the study of Christian Science.

The healings I have experienced since taking up the study of Christian Science more than eleven years ago are so many and varied that it would take too much space to enumerate them. Fears have been overcome, protection has been realized at the time of accidents, and while the healing of a severe stomach trouble for which I sought Christian Science was long delayed, it came just as soon as I was willing to let God's will be done.

Nothing short of a song of joy can begin to express my thankfulness for the benefits received through the study of Christian Science. I feel that they are inestimable.
