Testimonies of Healing

With a deep sense of gratitude for Christian Science, I desire to give my testimony. Sunday morning, July 29, 1917, while making preparations for a business trip, I was suddenly taken ill with extreme nausea, followed by violent attacks of vomiting.

It is with pleasure that I write this testimony regarding my healing. For several years I suffered with my feet; the doctors could not agree as to the cause of the trouble or the means for a cure.

I should like to testify to the healing power of Christian Science. All my life I had been delicate, and for fifteen years I suffered constantly from diseased kidneys and ulcers in the stomach.

Several years ago I attended a Christian Science Wednesday evening meeting and read some pamphlets bought at the reading room, but the teaching remained a mystery to me. In the autumn of 1914 my wife was away for a rest in hope of finding some relief from her suffering caused by obstinate ulcers in the stomach, with which she had been troubled for many years, and which, in spite of great caution, would not heal, the pains increasing instead of decreasing.

The time has come when I can no longer refrain from telling what Christian Science has done for our family. In April, 1914, I was taken with a severe cold, and a physician stated it was the beginning of acute lung trouble.

During the past eighteen years I have been journeying from sense to Soul under the guiding and sustaining influence of the truth as taught by Christian Science. Time and again I have proved the healing power of God in my own experience and that of others.

It is with deepest gratitude to God for Christian Science that I tell of my healing. I was in ill health for many years, during which I had treatment from physicians of different schools, also tried hygiene and health cures, but without avail.

About six years ago I was in a very depressed state mentally, also physically weak. One morning a severe cold developed in my head, and my throat became sore.

For the past seventeen years we have been relying wholly on God. Many years ago there was said to be no hope left for my husband, who was then trying in vain to recover from an attack of pneumonia.

Over seven years ago I was healed through Christian Science, after the doctors said there was no help for me. I had suffered many things of many physicians, having undergone four operations, the last one being what is called a major operation; then in five months I was told I had Bright's disease and there was no hope for my recovery.
