Testimonies of Healing
I am very grateful for the contentment and peace that have come into my life through Christian Science, and for other blessings I have received. For years I suffered from heart trouble, but this has been overcome; also fear of high altitude has been conquered, and a quick temper subdued.
I wish to testify to the benefits I have received from the healing power of Truth. In 1903 I was healed of what was pronounced by physicians the last stage of lung trouble.
It is with gratitude and thanksgiving to God that I give this testimony of my healing in Christian Science. In January, 1910, I was sick in bed with a complication of diseases, brought on by family trouble, among other things.
It is with gratitude that I send this testimony to what Christian Science has done for me. Three years ago a very painful felon appeared on one of my fingers and seemed to grow steadily worse.
When I first heard of Christian Science, it was in a very vague way. I supposed that it healed the sick through prayer: and though I heard it much criticized and misrepresented, still I believed only what was good about it, because I had always thought the sick should be healed by trusting God.
I wish to acknowledge and express my gratitude for all the good that has come to me through Christian Science. It has brought me peace and joy and contentment such as I could not have had in any other way.
I write this testimony with love to God and gratitude for what Christian Science has taught me regarding His protecting care. As I studied Science and Health, I came upon passages taken from the Bible telling how men were saved from the fiery furnace by their understanding of divine Love.
While reading a copy of The Christian Science Journal I found these words by Mrs. Eddy: "Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks.
I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing, but as a result of the conviction that it is the truth revealed to the world through the spiritual insight of our Leader. I have never wavered for a moment in my profound gratitude for what it has done and is doing for myself and all mankind.
The Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, was placed in my hands with the comment that many had been healed while reading it.
