Testimonies of Healing

It is with feelings of love and gratitude for the clearer understanding of God's Word which I have gained through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, that I write this testimony, in the hope it will help some one else who may be groping in the dark as I was until Christian Science brought me into the light.

Some time ago, our little girl was stricken with measles. A Christian Science practitioner treated her, and she progressed nicely without material precautions; but soon after this, ear trouble, an ailment particularly alarming to me, presented itself.

I realize as never before that unto us a Saviour is born. When we realize the all-power of God, this realization lifts us out of the pit of despair and death, into life, peace, and happiness.

I have felt for some time that it was my duty as well as a privilege to testify to the saving power of Christian Science as taught in the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. " From the age of sixteen I was a seeker for Truth, and had been a member of an orthodox church for several years when force of circumstances led me to unite with another denomination.

I have long received freely the benefits of Christian Science without having voiced a word of gratitude, but I am indeed grateful, and grow more so as I understand better the meaning of the word. I hardly know where to begin to count my blessings, as Christian Science is a constant help to me.

I would like everybody to know about my wonderful healing. About three years ago I met with an accident as I was working in a machine shop.

Over a year ago a trouble which I had felt off and on for some time became so serious that I consulted a physician, who said it was an affection of the nerves in my right arm and shoulder. He also said that as it was of long standing it would take a long time to cure; but the remedies he gave did not relieve me.

In August, 1907, my brother met with an accident while at work. He was caught in a belt, was thrown against a casting, and when picked up was unconscious.

I give the following testimony with a sense of deep gratitude for the blessings which Christian Science has brought to me and mine. About two years ago my health failed through strenuous mental work.

In Isaiah we read: "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. " That this is a demonstrable fact I have had overwhelming proof.
