Testimonies of Healing
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.
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.
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 express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. What brought me into the actual study of it was the healing of my mother, who had for weeks been very ill with a complication of diseases.
From the time I was eight years old I suffered from rheumatism of the joints, to which was added a supposedly organic heart trouble, which grew more serious in the course of years and resulted in spasms of the heart. I consulted several specialists, who prescribed baths and rest treatment; but it all proved of no avail.
Words cannot express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. Two years ago my throat seemed to be almost closed, so that I could not swallow food, or even water.
It is from a heart overflowing with gratitude to God that I give my testimony to the power of Truth. Two years and seven months ago Christian Science found me very miserable in every way, both physically and mentally, for I had had a stomach disorder and other organic troubles for years which had baffled the skill of materia medica, and the doctors had told me that if I lived to be over the age of forty the disease would become malignant.
Last winter our seven-year-old daughter was taken with pain in all her limbs, which increased in severity with every hour, all the joints being very much swollen. It became necessary for us to carry her, though this caused her great distress.
