Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has brought so much of strength, love, and peace into my life that it is a source of constant joy to me to be able in some measure humbly to reflect the Love which never fails to set free from sin and disease those who seek its aid. There are many ways in which we can give a loving thought, a loving word of encouragement, and do little acts of kindness in our every-day life, and as we keep alert to Truth and Love, we are ever awake to these opportunities.

I began the study of Christian Science in 1908, in what seemed to me the very darkest hours of my life. One night, I was trying to think of something to relieve the sufferings of a sister who seemed slowly passing away, and over whose case the physicians were puzzled.

It is with a grateful heart that I wish to tell of the blessings which I and my family have received through Christian Science. Four years ago our nine-months-old boy was taken ill with acute lung trouble and had medical attendance.

In gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, also to dear Mrs. Eddy, I want to tell what Christian Science has done for me.

Sincere gratitude impels me to testify herewith to the help gained from Christian Science. During a period of four years I suffered with a nervous trouble and mental depression.

Christian Science not only heals the sick, cleanses the lepers, gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, but it also teaches the higher meaning of retribution. Six years ago the remorselessness of the Turkish government compelled me to leave my home in Armenia and come to this country.

As an expression of gratitude for Christian Science and the many blessings I have received through its ministrations, I submit the following testimony, with the hope that it may help any who are troubled as I was. The fear of hereditary lung trouble has been prevalent in our family for many generations.

Five years having passed since I was released from the bonds of sickness and sorrow, I feel that I can give a fair and impartial testimony to the efficacy of Christian Science, hoping it may benefit other sufferers. For three years I was under the constant care of physicians, but each diagnosis seemed to abandon me to greater despair.

The psalmist wrote: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. " As I read these words recently, thought reverted to the conditions in which I seemed to be involved before I learned of Christian Science.

I Am indeed thankful to God for the benefits and blessings I have received through Christian Science. Five years ago I was a physical wreck.
