Testimonies of Healing
I wish to call attention to a most remarkable demonstration of the healing power of divine Truth, hoping that it may help some one. Three years ago I was stricken with a very severe trouble in my leg.
As I have so often received help and a clearer understanding through the testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel, and realize that gratitude requires of us an acknowledgment of the benefits already received, I submit my testimony of what Christian Science has done for me. I came into Science gradually, attracted by the joy and light manifested by the Christian Scientists I had known.
With deep gratitude I offer my testimony to the healing efficacy of Truth as revealed through Christian Science. Four years ago, when I suffered an acute attack of lung trouble, I went to a Christian Science practitioner and was healed without losing one hour from business, despite very inclement weather and many increased labors due to the financial panic of that time.
I suffered with a bowel trouble from the time I was a small child. I took medicine for years, but got no relief until I came into Christian Science; then I was healed.
Unspeakable gratitude to God prompts me to testify to the blessings which I have received through Christian Science. During the past ten years I have experienced various ills, including lung and kidney trouble, pleurisy and appendicitis, making it necessary for me to spend from eight to twelve weeks in the hospital every year.
ONE year ago Christian Science came into my life, and I desire to express my deep gratitude to God for sending the light of Truth afresh into the world by means of Mrs. Eddy.
I came to Christian Science through a desire to be healed of nervous and stomach trouble, from which I had been more or less of a sufferer all my life. I was supposed to have inherited this disease, as my father and grandfather had both died of it.
I am truly grateful for the better and happier understanding of life that I have gained through the study of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
Christian Science has healed me of many diseases, fears, and errors of disposition. All that I have and am I owe to this truth.
I wish to return thanks for a few of the blessings I have received from God through the understanding and application of Christian Science. In March, 1911, I was stricken with acute lung trouble in a severe form.
