Testimonies of Healing

It is now nearly fourteen years since I first began to study Christian Science. At that time I was not at all strong, and was very unhappy, always seeking for something which I never seemed to find.

About eight years ago I came into Christian Science as a last resort. I had been a sick woman for a good many years and had tried all available remedies, at last undergoing an operation which did not bring the expected results.

I would like to add my testimony to the many appearing in the Journal and Sentinel , and trust that it may help some one who is struggling for more light. A few years ago I lost consciousness while sitting at my desk.

BEFORE I had any knowledge of Christian Science I would in time of trouble turn naturally to God in prayer and felt many prayers were answered, but the fearless prayer of affirmation has been revealed to me through Christian Science. There came a time when I was threatened, the doctors told me, with paralysis.

When I took up Christian Science I had been in poor health for several years. The doctors told me that my stomach, liver, kidneys, and bronchial tubes were affected.

For over eight years Christian Science has been the only physician in our home. Before that I had been for five years going from one doctor to another, and from one remedy to another, and finding only temporary relief.

At the time Christian Science came into my life I was considered hopelessly ill, and had been under the doctor's care for about a year and a half. The trouble had been diagnosed as organic disease of the heart, and while it had been noticeably present for some years, I had paid but slight attention to it until forced to do so by a rapid decline in health and strength.

This testimony is lovingly sent to help some one who may seem as discouraged as I was in 1893. I was surrounded at home with conscientious examples of devotion and self-sacrifice, but even as a child my heart rebelled against the sad experiences of parents and friends after all their efforts in well-doing.

Justice and love bid me offer the following testimony to the healing power of Truth. Two years ago our son was suffering from nasal growths, and the doctor wished to operate.

I would like to express my gratitude for the healings I have had in Christian Science. About seven years ago I was healed of chronic bladder trouble, ulcers, and a fistula, and there has been no return of any of these diseases.
