Testimonies of Healing

For a number of years I have been proving that Christian Science does heal and that it is a protecting religion. The first proof of Truth's healing power was experienced at a time of great need, spiritual, physical, and financial.

There may be some who read this who are having a struggle to get started in their study of Christian Science, some who perhaps, like myself, have always wanted to be true followers of Christ Jesus and who have been told by those uninstructed in the subject that this religion denies the divinity of Christ and is a work of the devil. For the benefit of such I would like to say that I had been told this and had fully believed it, with the result that for eight months after Christian Science was first presented to me I could not conscientiously read or study the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

It is with deep gratitude for Christian Science that I send my testimony of healing. On page 597 of Science and Health we find the definition of the word wilderness: "Loneliness; doubt; darkness.

For some twenty years or more I took medicine and was under the care of physicians. I traveled in search of health in different climates, but found no permanent relief from rheumatism and stiff joints.

From the time I was a small child I had been afraid that I might have spinal meningitis.

I would like to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. I have been healed of many ills, especially of a stomach disorder for which I was under medical treatment many years without receiving any benefit.

O happy day, when Christian Science comes to us and clears away the terrors of evil, and as the new day dawns, we find ourselves in its light pure, perfect, as God's children. It was the happiest day of my life when the light of Truth was given to me some ten years ago at a time when, despairing of life, I asked the help of a practitioner who kindly helped me to realize that God is Love, that man, as His child, is perfect, and that as I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

I wish to express my thankfulness to God for all the blessings that have come to me through Christian Science, and to tell of one healing in particular. Five months previous to the birth of our son, I was helping my husband move some sections of heavy flooring.

Although I have often expressed my gratitude for Christian Science at our Wednesday evening meetings, I wish to cancel an account of apathy, lethargy, or procrastination, through the periodicals which our Leader so wisely provided. The object of my investigation of Christian Science was physical healing.

Over five years ago I was healed by Christian Science of a bowel trouble for which medicine had been taken as long as I can remember. I have not used any material remedies since, while previous to my healing not a day passed without resorting to them in some form or other.
