Testimonies of Healing

It is with a heart filled with the deepest gratitude that I take this opportunity to write a few lines in appreciation of the good I have received from reading testimonies as given in the Sentinel and Journal. At the time I became interested in Christian Science, I had not been in a church for twelve years, because I had come to the conclusion that it made no difference how much I prayed, my prayers were never answered; therefore I quit going to church and finally got as bad as the worst of them.

I wish that I could express the gratitude which seeks for expression in regard to my health. While visiting in the northern part of the state I was out walking after a heavy rain which had made the ground very slippery, and I fell, striking my right hand and apparently breaking two bones.

After receiving so many benefits through Christian Science, it seems that I should express my gratitude for some of them. I was healed through Christian Science, in one treatment, of acute and chronic inflammation of the bladder and kidneys from which I had suffered since childhood.

During many years it has been my intention to give my testimony in deep gratitude for all that I have received through Christian Science. I had always enjoyed very good health, but in the year 1909 I was suddenly taken very ill with hemorrhage of the brain.

I feel that I should give a testimony as to the results which have come to me and mine through the study and practice of Christian Science. When I first decided to try Christian Science, I had come to the point where it seemed to me that I would be better off if I were dead.

I am anxious to give my testimony of the wonderful healing which came to me through Christian Science. I suffered from what is known as articular rheumatism, besides which I also had lung trouble.

I Would like to express my deep sense of gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and for my family. Three summers ago my little daughter contracted what is known medically as painful rickets, involving softening of the bone.

In the latter part of 1915 I was entirely healed of chronic bowel trouble and hemorrhoids in one Christian Science treatment. For sixteen years I took medicines almost every night.

Eight years ago I was healed of gallstones through Christian Science and I have never had the slightest symptom of this trouble since. Over two years ago I had what is called palsy, or creeping paralysis in my left hand.

I am taking this way to express a little of my gratitude for the many blessings we have received through Christian Science. I was healed of stomach and bowel trouble from which I had suffered for about a year.
