Testimonies of Healing
It is with great joy that I write this message of what Truth has done for me. At the time Christian Science was brought to my attention I was suffering intensely from stomach trouble, which dated back to early childhood, and was also confronted with an operation for inflammation of the gall bladder, the doctors saying it was the only thing that would relieve me.
I wish to express my gratitude for the benefits received through the study of Christian Science. A frozen ear has been quickly restored to its normal condition; very irritating soreness manifested in the throat has been dispelled; and in a comparatively short time, without the aid of material remedies, I have been relieved of the inflammation, hardness, and severe pain occasioned by a fractured arm, and can now use this arm.
My gratitude for Christian Science is beyond expression in words. I was healed eighteen years ago, and since then have been devoting my entire time to Christian Science, and feel that I can never do enough in return for what this great truth has given me.
About fifteen years ago I became interested in Christian Science, and was healed of the need of glasses after reading the chapter on Prayer in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
I am always glad to testify to the healing efficacy of Christian Science, for it is my desire to give to others what I have received, in order to help some one searching for health and happiness. These blessings have been revealed to me through a faithful study of the Bible and our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
Christian Science came into my life when I was a mere child, and although I did not adopt it at that time I remember that it brought a ray of hope into my life. We were laboring under a heavy sense of grief, my father having passed on suddenly when just in the prime of life.
I have desired for some time to write an expression of the gratitude I feel for the many blessings that have come to me through a knowledge of the Science of Christianity as taught in our textbook, '"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
During the winter of 1911 I was seized with severe pain in the loins and legs. I was forced to remain in bed, and to call in a doctor, who diagnosed my case as internal neuralgia.
About a year ago as I stepped from a street car in one of our large cities I was struck by an automobile going at a high rate of speed. As I whirled in the air I heard my own voice say, "God is my life," and although an alert police officer came quickly to my rescue, I made an effort to rise from the pavement before any assistance came, which confirms my belief that I did not lose consciousness.
With thanksgiving and loving reverence to God and gratitude to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I give this testimony of healing in Christian Science.
