Testimonies of Healing

I am glad to have the privilege of expressing some of the gratitude we feel for what Christian Science has brought into our home. Five years ago, when our eldest boy was a year old, the doctor said he had whooping-cough.

When Christian Science found me I was dwelling in the darkness of unbelief. For many years I felt forced to take the agnostic position through honest conviction, the problem of evil seeming impossible of solution when associated with the belief in a beneficent creator.

I first heard of Christian Science in 1903, when a building resembling a dwelling-house was pointed out to me as a Christian Science church. After that I occasionally heard remarks of ridicule about this religion, until in the spring of 1906 a sister in-law, knowing I was in ill health and unable to work much more than half the time, brought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

It is with a heart filled with gratitude for health and happiness gained through Christian Science that I send this testimony. I had been interested in Christian Science for a number of years, but had worked with it only in a feeble way.

It is eleven years since I have taken any medicine, while previous to that time I took much. During these years I have been an honest, persistent student of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

Some five years ago Christian Science was brought to my attention in a very practical way. I was sick, but had not called upon the services of a doctor.

MANY years ago I had an illness from which I recovered, although I suffered from weak action of the heart and nervous debility, as was expected by the physicians. I had several attacks of weakness a day, and on account of this condition did not dare to go out or stay at home alone.

AFTER seeing a case healed through Christian Science, these thoughts came to me: What have these people that we have not? Is it of God or not? The desire to answer these questions led my husband and myself to study the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and after reading it for a few weeks we determined that the next time any sickness came to us we would apply for Christian Science treatment.

I am glad to be able to tell the seekers after truth of the benefits which I have derived from Christian Science. For three years I have been an adherent of these teachings which were discovered and brought to the world by Mrs.

I have been thinking for a long time of writing my testimony. Several years ago I was suffering with a chronic stomach trouble of thirty years' standing.
