Testimonies of Healing
I give this testimony with the hope that it may aid and encourage some one afflicted as I was and in need of the assurance that "with God all things are possible. " Some years ago, Christian Science was brought to my notice through the interest manifested by my wife and the benefits she received therefrom, which were many.
The blessings and peace of mind which have come to me through Christian Science are too many to leave untold, and it is with a feeling of unbounded gratitude that I give this testimony, hoping it may be the means of leading others into the truth and bringing them happiness. I was led into Science; first by seeing my good wife transformed from a physical wreck into perfect health, and second by receiving immediate relief myself from what seemed to be serious afflictions.
I would be robbing others as well as myself were I to keep silent longer regarding the blessings which I have received through Christian Science. Over ten years ago my husband became afflicted with a malignant disease on the right leg.
While reading recently the testimonies of healing in the Sentinel, the words of Mrs. Eddy came to me, that if we do not acknowledge the benefits received we are not ready for new blessings.
I long to express my gratitude for the great blessings received in Christian Science. After much suffering I was sent in the spring of 1910 to Switzerland to get rid of a cough which was exceedingly painful to me, also an internal trouble from which I.
I am glad to tell my experience in Christian Science, but the benefits received are without number and I can only give a small portion. I had been a semiinvalid for over twenty years, for several months had only been able to walk to and from my bed to a chair, and at times I suffered intensely.
To the glory of God, and with the hope that it may help others who are weary and heavy laden, I gladly testify to the blessings I have received from Christian Science. During the summer of 1908, after many years of anxiety and various illnesses, my health completely broke down, and general debility, heart trouble, and nervous collapse found me utterly helpless and hopeless and praying that death would end my suffering.
I am very grateful for the privilege of telling others of the benefits that have come to me through Christian Science. As a child I had a sense of discouragement and depression which I never seemed able to throw off for any length of time.
" Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. " So sang the psalmist more than nineteen hundred years ago, and today from every quarter of the globe come songs of thanksgiving from those who have sought and found the truth which sets free, the truth that was meant for all time.
With the hope that my experience may be of help to others afflicted as I was, I desire to tell of my healing through Christian Science. In the fall of 1901 I noticed a swelling on my left breast.
