Testimonies of Healing

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I tell briefly of my coming into Christian Science. From 1910 until February, 1913, I was in the East, in Japan, China, and the Philippine Islands.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude and love to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, that I send this testimony.

For the clearer understanding of God which has been unfolded to me through the study of the Bible and Science and Health in the last two years I do indeed praise the Lord. My former religion meant to me only one of the features of education.

Before I became acquainted with Christian Science I was afflicted with internal troubles, and upon the advice of the physicians had an operation performed. Instead of improving I grew weaker, however, and as a result, contracted hernia, which caused me untold suffering.

There came to my thought two very good reasons for making public this experience in Christian Science healing. It may help another mother to replace a condition of fearfulness and its effects in the home with the peace which passeth all understanding, and it will assist me in the expression of the gratitude I feel to God for this additional proof of His ever presence and availability in time of need.

When I awoke last Thanksgiving morning, the thought came to me how grateful I was to God, and to our dear Learder, Mrs. Eddy, for this revelation which she has given to the world in her book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and in her other writings.
