Testimonies of Healing

Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. Before coming into Christian Science I was for thirteen years a confirmed invalid, having been under the treatment of seventeen of the best doctors and specialists of the South, three of those who had doomed me now having themselves passed to the beyond.

My healing in Christian Science was the natural result of the revelation of Truth which came to me with my first perusal of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and was instantaneous.

I have known of Christian Science for over fifteen years, and can tell of some remarkable cures, one of which took place in my own family when my baby was badly scalded on his face and neck. A Scientist was visiting me at the time, and by her prompt treatment he was healed at once and saved from lifelong scars.

I wish to give expression to that sense of gratitude which has come to me through Christian Science. I am most deeply grateful to God for all the good which I experienced in my former life, but more grateful yet for the recognition gained in Christian Science that God was not the sender of the sorrow and trouble experienced in times past, but rather that these untoward conditions had their origin in the human sense of separateness from God, in false thinking and acting.

Christian Science has done so much for me in the past ten years that I have felt for a long time I should write and acknowledge the many benefits I have received through the understanding of the Bible and Science and Health. Before coming into Christian Science I had suffered from many ailments.

I sometimes hesitate when asked how I became interested in Christian Science, if I stop to think of what this wonderful revelation of "God with us" has meant to me. After the first few conversations with a Christian Scientist, I knew this was the religion I wanted, and that this message of Truth was again bringing to the world the glad tidings of peace and good will; yes, peace and healing from fear, suffering, and poverty, which suggest to mankind the absence of God.

It is with a heart full of gratitude to God that I testify to the perfect health, peace, and joy I have known since I accepted Christian Science. Like many stubborn people, I refused to investigate its teaching for more than seven years, thinking it to be some cult of a superstitious nature.

Christian Science has been such a help to me in my work as a teacher in the public schools, that I desire to express my gratitude. It has given me an understanding of the Bible which enables me to keep well and strong, my mentality is clearer, and my joy in my work is increased.

I can vouch for the correctness of the testimony sent by my wife as to the healing of her knee. The healing has been permanent, no ill effects whatever remaining, or appearing since, although it occurred over a year ago.

The following testimony may help others to realize the ever-presence of divine Love in times of accident or sudden emergency, and the wonderful efficacy of Christian Science. Some time ago I fell very heavily on my knee on an unevenly bricked floor, and the pain was so intense that I could not move.
