Testimonies of Healing

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.

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.

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.

The many testimonies in our periodicals prove conclusively the great value to the world of our Leader's discovery and of her many years of labor so to establish its teachings that the world would never lose them. Happily for me I was one of the early beneficiaries of Christian Science, having been healed in the spring of 1886, and my desire now is to testify to its enduring effects.

Like so many others I feel that I owe all I have, or am, to our dear Leader's patient and clear teachings. It is nearly thirteen years since a Sentinel was placed in my hands by one who silently recognized that my need was very great.

Christian Science first attracted me as a means of physical healing. For years I had tried material remedies for chronic bowel trouble, internal weakness, and displaced organs, but received little help.

With a deep sense of gratitude I will relate an experience I had some years ago. It surely was an occasion for supreme testing of Christian Science.

Hoping sincerely that this testimony may help some mother in distress I wish to tell of the wonderful healing of my little boy, three years ago, of what was diagnosed as a tubercular spot on the brain close to the spine. In the spring of 1914 he was a healthy, well-grown child of five years, but as summer came on he gradually developed violent headaches, accompanied by sickness and fits of extreme giddiness.
