Testimonies of Healing
When I came to Christian Science two years ago, I had been suffering with an abdominal trouble for fourteen years, and had been operated upon three times during the last year. I then tried a so-called nature-cure and experienced some relief; but later the trouble returned, and the attacks were more severe.
It is with a sense of deep gratitude that I testify to the power of Truth and of ever-present Love, for in so doing I feel that I am fulfilling a sacred duty. For several years I suffered pain in the left arm, and though I used material remedies, I experienced only temporary relief.
It is with a grateful heart that I testify to what Christian Science has done for me and for my sister. Since youth I had suffered with severe attacks of headache; my lungs were weak, I had hemorrhages and a cough, and suffered very much with my stomach, so that it seemed impossible for me to do without medicines.
I became interested in Christian Science four years ago through the healing of my husband. For five months he suffered from what the doctor called sciatic rheumatism.
Thinking that it may be a benefit to some one, and wishing to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, I send in this testimony. When I was eleven years old, my mother passed on, with what is known as hereditary lung trouble.
Having received so much help from the testimonies which appear in the Sentinel, I send this, thankful if it will be a help to any one who is seeking for the light. About fifteen years ago I was attracted to Christian Science by the healing of a friend who was very dear to me.
Words fail to express my gratitude for the help I have received through Christian Science. From childhood I was weak and sickly, and later on an abdominal trouble set in which kept me in bed for months at a time and necessitated the care of many physicians.
I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, and I trust it may help to bring some one from darkness into light, as I have been brought. When I came into Christian Science I had for over twenty-five years been struggling with a distressing trouble of my head and eyes, which was growing worse all the time; and after reading about Christian Science I went to a practitioner for further explanation, and to see if there was any help for me.
I feel so grateful for what Christian Science has done for me that I write this testimony, hoping it will be of some benefit to those who may read it. I turned to Christian Science for help in April, 1910, when all material means had failed, with the exception of an operation; but I believe that had I submitted to this, it would have proved fatal, as I was in great fear of it.
With deep gratitude I express my love and reverence to God for Christian Science. I also wish to acknowledge some of the benefits I have received through it.
