Testimonies of Healing

I feel it my duty to tell of some of the blessings I have received through the power of divine Love. When I turned to Christian Science, I felt there was nothing to live for, and I was not prepared to die.

It was twelve years ago that Christian Science was first brought to my attention when a friend gave me a copy of the Journal. I read it, yes devoured it, for it contained something for which I was hungering.

My blessings since coming into Christian Science five years ago have been so manifold that I feel I should no longer hide my light "under a bushel," but let it shine forth, possibly to help some one struggling for health and happiness. My little daughter, four years old, had been a victim of asthma for three years, and after one of her attacks she was left with a severe cough.

My life was saved by Christian Science—of this I feel certain. While establishing a new business in Chicago, I was suddenly stricken with fever and lameness, so that in three days I was unable to walk or ever stand on my feet.

A few years ago I first learned of the teachings of Christian Science. My father was a physician and I knew no Scientists in my native city.

Having read in the Christian Science periodicals so many testimonies that have been helpful to me, I want to tell of my own experience. In December, 1913, I was taken ill with fever.

One morning I was raising a window which had a defective fastening, when it came crashing down upon my hand and severed the entire tip of the little finger, tearing the nail out with it. I immediately sent word to my husband and to a Christian Science practitioner, who advised having a surgeon replace the severed end.

My great regret, in regard to Christian Science is that I did not believe it when it was first brought to my notice, and I beg any inquirers to continue their study of the subject, as they will be a thousandfold repaid. I begin to find that heaven, harmony, appears now in proportion as I apprehend and apply through Christian Science the laws of God, good, to overcome any discordant condition.

When mankind awake to the great benefits they are receiving through the discovery of Christian Science, then will they be thankful to God and grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for the scientific understanding which heals.

I cannot find words to express my gratitude to God for the good health that has come to me through the power of Truth as revealed in Christian Science. For five years my husband and I have depended entirely on Christian Science, and in that time we have had many healings.
