Testimonies of Healing
Christian science was first presented to me in 1908, by a friend who had received a most wonderful healing, she having sent me some literature which I read and became much interested in. I secured a copy of the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
For all the blessings Christian Science has brought to me I am truly grateful, and I thank God for having enabled Mrs. Eddy to explain this wonderful Science in such a way that all who faithfully study her book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" will most assuredly reap a rich reward.
Much help, both spiritual and physical, has come to me through Christian Science. I suffered from the worst form of stomach and bowel disorder, severe headaches, heart trouble, paralysis, and sleeplessness.
I would like to tell of some of the blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science. In November, 1913, I was taken ill with rheumatism and swelling of the joints.
My gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me cannot be expressed in words, but I am trying to live it. In March, 1915, on shaking the fire one day while visiting a friend, the teakettle tipped and the boiling water ran over me.
During the summer of 1913 I was taken with an attack of sciatic rheumatism, and had medical treatment for two weeks, but grew steadily worse, until the trouble finally resulted in an alarming case of peritonitis. I was taken to the hospital, and remained there for a month.
Nine years ago I came to Christian Science for the healing of female trouble, and because this healing has not yet been completed I have neglected to express my thanks for the innumerable other blessings received. I had been studying only a short time when I was healed of bowel disorder; while before this I always had a material remedy on hand.
I know that Christian Science heals morally, physically, and mentally by the power of divine ever presence. Three years ago, when in a hospital, I asked a practitioner if one could be healed in Christian Science who did not believe in it, and she answered by turning to the opening sentence of the Preface of that glorious book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
When Christian Science was brought to me over five years ago I was healed of a severe stomach disorder; I could not drink even water, the trouble had become so acute. But after my healing I had no faith in Christian Science, so did not even thank the practitioner for her help.
Before divine Truth was known to me I was always ready to pass a critical remark, oftentimes a stinging one, about those who were trying to keep the commandments of God. I am deeply remorseful for those remarks which my ignorance in things religious caused me to make.
