Testimonies of Healing

An expression of gratitude for Christian Science has become a necessity, the only difficulty being to make an adequate one. My blessings have been many since I began its study about twelve years ago.

In expressing my gratitude for the healing power of Christian Science teaching, I am especially grateful that through it we obtain a demonstrable knowledge of God as the only power, that we may know Him as a present help in whatever circumstance or condition we find ourselves placed,—among the children, in the house duties, the field, the office, everywhere and all the time. I never think of turning to any other aid, and am never disappointed.

With a feeling of deep gratitude I hereby testify to the blessings received through Christian Science. In August, 1914, I sustained a fracture of the thigh bone, which the doctors declared very serious, as I was already seventy years old.

Joy and gratitude are the words which most nearly express what I feel toward Christian Science. I became interested in this religion through seeing the results of its healing power in a case where the usual methods had failed.

With a sense of deepest gratitude I write of the many blessings that have come into my life through Christian Science in the last three years. One of the most wonderful was the healing of our eight-months-old son of what doctors would have pronounced pneumonia and peritonitis with very grave complications.

I can bear grateful testimony to the fact that Christian Science heals organic disease, even when beyond the power of surgery to do so. Through God's loving care I was guided to this healing religion when a number of physicians could give me no relief.

Gratitude for the many blessings I have received from God through the study of Christian Science prompts me to send a testimony of healing for publication. Several years ago I became troubled with a growth in my right breast, which grew more and more painful as time passed by, until finally to my dismay I found one of like nature forming in the left breast also.

A number of years ago (August, 1913) the Journal published my testimony as to the healing of my eyes after many years of suffering and no help from the best specialists. Now I want to add that my sight continues good, although I am past fourscore years of age.

About nine years ago, while living in Denver, Colorado, I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called typhopneumonia. I had been going a pretty fast gait, and that made the case more complicated.

When I read of a fatality resulting from a child swallowing the acid in a golf ball, I felt that I had not done my part in telling others how Christian Science is to-day proving the statement made by Christ Jesus, which is given in the last chapter of Mark's gospel, "If they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. " Three years ago our daughter, then nine years old, was playing with an old golf ball.
