Testimonies of Healing

I think I should wait no longer to express my gratitude for the blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. I had been a careless Christian, attending church as the result of custom only, and nourishing within me a mind which looked at religion and the Bible as a puzzle to be left alone.

It is with much pleasure that I am able to confirm the testimony of Miss Aarons, as I knew of her condition at the time of her illness and noted the marvelous change in her. She had absent treatment, and within a short time she was perfectly cured.

One often hears the remark, "I could believe in Christian Science, but not when it comes to absent treatment. " I wish therefore to testify to the efficacy of such treatment.

It is two years since my little boy was healed, and there has been no return whatever of the trouble. He goes to the Christian Science Sunday school, and it is a great help.

One's gratitude for Truth is best expressed in a life corrected, yet the spoken or written testimony may be of help to some one passing through a similar experience. While I am deeply grateful for the physical help which has come to me through the study of Christian Science, yet above all I am grateful for peace, for a true and dependable philosophy of life, for the ability to say with certainty, "I know.

In October,1898, I first experienced the healing power of Christian Science. I had been seeking health for more than a year, as I was afflicted with various ills; but resorted to physicians, a hospital, electricity, etc.

"ARE we truly grateful for the blessings already bestowed upon us, if we are not endeavoring to share them with others?" After reading this sentence in an editorial in the Journal for February,1913, I reflected for a few moments and compared my state of health of a few years ago and of today. Three years ago, before coming into Christian Science, I was a physical and mental wreck.

I give this testimony out of thankfulness to God for all the blessings that have come to me through Christian Science, and also in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, who prepared herself through years of study of the Bible to be the bearer of the glorious message embodied in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

In deepest love and gratitude I should like to add my testimony of the many wonderful proofs of the efficacy of divine Love that I have had in Christian Science. Soon after I had learned of this truth, I was seized with acute pain that took me quickly into "the valley of the shadow of death.
