Testimonies of Healing

I feel that I owe it to others to tell what Christian Science has done for me. Most of the time for eight years I was a helpless creature, as I had rheumatism in its worst form.

[Translated from the German] In July, 1912, I was taken ill with what was pronounced a serious condition of the heart, also of the lungs' and kidneys. Then, through acquaintances, I heard of Christian Science and its wonderful results, so I applied to a practitioner for treatment, which continued for several weeks.

It is with a heart full of love to God, and gratitude for the blessings I have received through the teachings of Christian Science, that I write this testimony. It has been proven to me that God is good; that He is Love, and that His truth is indeed our "shield and buckler.

I have had much help in Christian Science since I was first treated in the summer of 1910. In December, 1911, I had a severe attack of acute lung trouble.

Many times before taking up the study of Christian Science, I wished for a basis, a right starting-point, in trying to work out my various problems, yet I never really believed that such a thing existed. I accepted the teaching of the church in which I held membership, so far as it went, but I was not taught anything about the Holy Spirit; or if so, it was to the effect that the Holy Spirit was manifested only for a certain time, place, and people, and that I was not of them.

I take great pleasure in writing a few words of thanks to God for the truth that has come to rescue us from all human suffering. Our little boy, when two years old, was ill with a fever.

In gratitude for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to me, I write this testimony. Previous to 1910 I had always been considered frail and delicate, and five years ago I had an operation performed, with the hope of being relieved of a hemorrhage from which I suffered; but instead of being bettered I grew worse.

I, too, wish to bear grateful testimony to the efficacy of Christian Science to heal sickness and other discordant human conditions, for I and various members of my family have been benefited physically, spiritually, and financially. I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing, but I began studying the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

A HEALING in Christian Science is the most wonderful and gracious experience possible to men on earth. It is the sure sign to one of Immanuel, God with us; the Christ in evidence, or, as defined by Mrs.

When my attention was first called to Christian Science I felt very unkindly toward it. I was prejudiced, and ridiculed it in general.
