Testimonies of Healing

It is with a deep sense of thankfulness to God that I write this testimony. When Christian Science found me, I was a wreck, mentally and physically.

In December, 1905, I was compelled to return home after making an attempt to start out on my regular work, that of traveling salesman. For about ten days I had been slowly yielding to an attack of what materia medico called bronchial pneumonia, and in the evening of a particular day I was unable to breathe, except with the utmost difficulty and severe pain.

It is with deep gratitude that I add my testimony to the efficacy of Christian Science in bringing better conditions into my life,—better health, better morals, and quickened spiritual understanding. A few years ago I was an unhappy, sickly girl, with belief in an inherited heart trouble, which had been greatly aggravated by scarlet fever, contracted when on duty as a nurse in the contagion ward.

In December, 1910, 1 had a sudden attack of illness, which soon became much worse. As it was Sunday, I was unable to get a message to a Christian Science practitioner until the following day.

It is with a grateful heart that I wish to tell of some of the blessings which have been brought into my life through Christian Science, as well as of its healing power. I had suffered greatly for about ten years from an organic disease which the physicians said was caused by congestion and displacement of internal organs.

About two years ago, the company with which I was then employed sold out to another large concern, leaving me without work. I immediately sought many of my friends who are prominent and influential in business, confident that through some one of them I would secure work in a short time.

About ten years ago I began to read our text book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

During nearly fourteen years my life has been governed by Christian Science as taught by our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

I am writing this testimony with a sense of great joy and gratitude, and also with the feeling that it is my duty to tell of the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science. For many years I suffered from headaches and never felt entirely well.

Mrs. Eddy says, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings" ( Science and Health, Pref.
