Testimonies of Healing

" Man's extremity is God's opportunity," and I am grateful to have proved it. After I lost faith in God and mankind, Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I was healed of a supposedly incurable bowel trouble of fifteen years' standing, from which there had been no relief without drugs.

I want to tell of some of the blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life. Words could not express all it has done for me.

I am very grateful for the protecting power of Christian Science. All through my school life this healing truth has been an ever present help.

After about four years and a half of study of and interest in Christian Science, I am persuaded that a brief story of a part of the comforts, healings, and blessings that have come to me and to the members of my family through the application of its teachings will encourage other persons in need of relief and comfort. I had from childhood carried the burdens of malaria, typhoid, and the complex miseries of chills, ague, fevers, sick stomach, headaches, and general poor health, resulting later in weak and defective eyesight, and finally, at the age of forty-three years, in an almost complete breakdown in the form of extreme neuralgia sometimes approaching meningitis.

I desire to confirm what is said in the foregoing testimony and to add that I have had many healings in Christian Science. My children now have no fear of night, and are well, strong boys.

It is with a heart filled to overflowing with gratitude and love that I write this testimony, hoping it will help some one as I have been helped and encouraged by the testimonies of others. In August, 1906, I first heard of Christian Science.

I am very grateful for many blessings that have come to me through an understanding of Christian Science. In the summer of 1916 a discordant condition of the throat caused me great inconvenience and discomfort.

It has been about ten years since I first learned of Christian Science, and the proof of its efficacy was revealed to me through the permanent healing of a very discordant physical condition, which had been present for many years. This healing was necessarily accompanied by mental purification.

I have wished for some time to tell the world what Christian Science has done for me. For more than a year I was sick with so-called stomach trouble.

My little girls have so often asked me to send in a testimony of the many blessings we have received in Christian Science, and we find the testimonies in the periodicals so helpful that I send mine hoping it may encourage other seekers after Truth. Four years ago I underwent several serious operations which upset me very much, and I became dreadfully nervous, irritable, and unhappy.
