Testimonies of Healing

It is over twenty-five years since I first heard of Christian Science. Then I bought a copy of Science and Health, but did not understand it, though I felt positive that Christian Science was the truth, and upheld it at every opportunity.

IN Isaiah we read, "In his love and in his pity he .

I heard of Christian Science for the first time in 1910. After having several attacks of illness said by the doctors to be appendicitis, I was told that the next one would surely mean an operation.

It is with deep gratitude that I give the following testimony of what Christian Science has done for me. While traveling over the country, going from place to place, I was subject to all the temptations that the world affords, and as a result I found myself in a very bad condition.

I am very grateful for Christian Science. In December, 1913, our baby, then seven months old, was taken suddenly ill.

In 1907 I seemed likely to become a hopeless cripple from sciatica and neuritis in their severest forms, but Christian Science healed me. All my life I had been extremely delicate, never able to do things other children did without some suffering.

With thankfulness for even a slight knowledge of Christian Science, I will tell of benefits received. One Sunday, when returning from church, I was taken with severe pain in the back of the head and neck.

I feel impelled to write my testimony, and trust it may be accepted as one more witness to the truth contained in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

Christian Science came to me at a time when everything seemed dark, and it brought unspeakable joy and hope. I was bitter and despondent, fighting for courage to go on with life.

My experience in Christian Science dates from June 28, 1913, when my son, then twelve years of age, was run over by an automobile and dragged under the machine for some distance. His injuries included a fractured skull, a gash over one eye, and also bruises on his body.
