Testimonies of Healing
I take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the many blessings received through the study of Christian Science. We are grateful that the sense of fear and doubt vanishes as we lay hold on the verities of eternal truth.
For the daily blessings that are mine as the result of the understanding thus far gained of Christian Science, I wish to express my gratitude. Through faithful study and obedience to its teachings as found in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
About five years ago I experienced my first healing through Christian Science, when a serious attack of peritonitis was overcome in a few treatments. Since that time Christian Science has been the means of making my whole life over, replacing discord with harmony, strife with peace, wrong with right; and it is constantly eliminating the false from the true.
It was my privilege to experience the effects of God's infinite love and ever-present help on a recent occasion, when I expected to sing at a concert. Two days before this concert, and just after an attack of hay fever had been overcome, I became afflicted with such soreness of the throat that singing appeared to be out of the question.
Since becoming interested in Christian Science some few years ago, I have had many beautiful experiences of the healing of both mind and body, including physical troubles from which I had suffered since childhood. These did not all disappear from thought without some effort on my part to realize their nothingness; in fact there have been periods of doubt and discouragement, but through the help of others at times, and with my own desire to know and understand God better, the old ailments have faded away into their native nothingness.
In the year 1905 I was pronounced by a most eminent physician a physical and nervous wreck. He told me I was incurable and could never expect to be a well woman, but he would do all he could to alleviate my sufferings.
About ten years ago I was in the grip of so-called incurable disease, and had another serious ailment for which I had been operated upon twice, but with no lasting benefit; in fact the condition was rapidly growing more serious, and the faithful physician could give me no hope of a permanent cure. I was on the verge of undergoing a third operation when a friend asked me why I did not try Christian Science, since so little hope was held out to me by the medical profession.
I wish to express my gratitude for the knowledge I have gained of Christian Science. Nearly three years ago I was healed of a very bad stomach trouble just by reading Science and Health.
Some years ago I became interested in Christian Science, not because of the physical healing, but because I was dissatisfied with the teachings of the church to which I belonged. When I heard of Christian Science it at once appealed to me as the truth I had been seeking, and to the extent that I have faithfully applied its teachings Principle has never failed me.
I have been studying Christian Science for almost three years, and it is impossible to tell what, a blessing it has been to me. Several chronic complaints have been overcome, among them being bowel trouble.
