Testimonies of Healing

In the spring of 1909 my husband was taken very ill with acute lung trouble, and having received benefit from Christian Science before, we called a practitioner to treat him. There was a marked change the second day, and the third day every symptom of fever had left, though he was not up until the end of the first week.

In love and gratitude to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, the interpreter of the inspired teachings of Christ Jesus, I wish to tell of some of the benefits which I have received through Christian Science.

I feel it a great pleasure and privilege to express my gratitude to God for the many blessings and great help I have received since coming into Christian Science. Some months ago I had proof that truly the "everlasting arms" of Love are around, beneath, above.

A little over five years ago Christian Science was first introduced in our home. Through the understanding of this wonderful truth we have overcome many ills that seemed very real.

About the middle of August, 1900; my son, then nine years of age, was riding on a grocer's wagon and wanted to get off, but the driver would not stop; so my son, who was afraid to jump, reached his right foot out to the hub of the wheel, and as it turned his foot slipped between the spokes, and he sustained terrible injuries. A' bicyclist saw the predicament the boy was in, with his head dragging on the ground, and ran and stopped the horse, freed the boy, and placed him in the same wagon to be brought home.

In July, 1909, my wife was taken sick with so-called nervous collapse. A physician living in the same building, who was a long-time friend, treated her for two months, no doubt doing his best, but there seemed to be no change for the better.

In loving gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, I give my testimony. About five years ago I was healed of serious lung trouble.

In the hope that my experience with Christian Science will help and encourage some one. and with the deepest feeling of gratitude, I give the following testimony.

I wish to give thanks from a heart overflowing with gratitude and love to God, who through Christian Science has met me—as divine Love always will meet—and restored my health. For five years I suffered from sleeplessness in its worst form, and only by taking opiates was I able to obtain any satisfactory sleep.

WE wish to express heartfelt thanks to God for the wonderful healing, through the Christ-Science, of our beloved and only child, nine years of age. On Sunday, May 8, 1910, about six o'clock, while playing on the third floor of the unfinished high school building, she lost her footing and fell to the concrete floor below.
