Testimonies of Healing

In the fall of 1893 I was healed of an organic trouble through Christian Science. At that time my father was very heavily involved financially, and it looked as if the prediction that he would die a pauper was about to come true.

THE truth that man is spiritual, not material, came to me through my experience in Christian Science. For three or four years I had been an invalid, having had several operations.

In May, 1912, when our family physician, the state board of health, and two specialists said I had tubercular disease, I felt that the thing I greatly feared had come upon me. My grandmother, my father, and several other relatives had passed on with this disease, and the fear of heredity was held over me from earliest childhood, as I was always considered very frail and delicate.

It is eight years since I first began the study of Christian Science, which has proven to be one of the greatest blessings I have ever known. I am so grateful for the truth it teaches about man's relation to God; it makes all good come to him here and now.

Christian Science was brought to my notice at a time when I was in a position like that of a ship without a rudder, drifting about aimlessly with every wind that blew. I had been brought up religiously, and had carried out all the demands of the church to which I belonged, in the matter of church attendance, and so forth; but as the years went on and various discordant conditions appeared in my life, I found my religion insufficient and inadequate to help me overcome all these trials.

It is thirteen years since we became interested in Christian Science. In that time we have had many proofs of the power of Truth.

For some time I have felt that in recognition of the help which Christian Science has brought to me, I should tell my experience of the past two years. In the spring of 1915 a condition arose which involved my comrade in business and myself without our knowledge in a spurious contract which threatened financial ruin and loss of reputation.

In deep gratitude I send this testimony of what Christian Science with its story of loving truth has done for me and for my family. I was getting ready to undergo a second operation when I first heard the words "God is good.

I want to give testimony of the wonderful healing which I have received through Christian Science. In September, 1914, I was taken down with what the doctors termed Bright's disease and acute rheumatism.

With a heart full of gratitude I would recount the blessings which my family and I have received through Christian Science. For eight years I consulted various doctors and visited different places in order to get my twin children well.
