Testimonies of Healing
When I was a small child my health was very poor, and our family physician said the most careful attention must be given me. He told my mother, when she questioned him closely, that both lungs were affected and I was not long for this world: that even with the best of care I could not possibly live to reach maturity.
In order partially to show my gratitude for the benefits received in Christian Science, I herewith give my testimony. I have been restored to a condition of health which I had supposed was impossible for me ever to enjoy.
A few years ago Christian Science found me in a small town in New Hampshire. I was very sick with pleuropneumonia, sciatica, and other ailments.
I should like to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and mine. It would be impossible for me to tell of the many difficulties which have been overcome through this healing truth.
It is with a heart full of gratitude and in the hope of helping some one that I give this testimony. For twenty-eight years I was a slave to the morphine habit, which started from a doctor's prescription.
Bearing in mind the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science, I would herewith give expression to my gratitude. After having experienced much sorrow and disappointment, I found my way to Christian Science and was healed of mental depression and of a sense of bitterness toward life.
I am thankful to God and gladly give testimony to what Christian Science has done for me. When very young I had the mumps, which left a settled trouble in my ears, causing deafness, and every winter I suffered with earache.
I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings which have come to me since taking up the study of Christian Science. Having always been bound by fear and from childhood frail and nervous, as the years passed I was fast becoming an invalid.
When on Aug. 8, 1898.
Christian Science has brought so many blessings to me that I wish to express my gratitude. I am striving lovingly to live according to its teachings and know that a better understanding is being gained, for I am able to work out many problems for myself.
