Testimonies of Healing

Nearly four years ago I first learned of Christian Science, the truth which has again been brought to light after having been unused for so many centuries, and I wish to express my gratitude for what this wonderful healing truth has done for me. About three years ago, while attending a religious service.

I desire to bear testimony to the efficiency of Christian Science in what I consider a most remarkable case. I have waited three years for the following reason: in consulting the best authorities on the disease during the time of my daughter's affliction, I found it the consensus of opinion that when a patient had passed a period of two years without a reappearance of the disease, it was conclusive of an absolute cure; if there should be a return of the symptoms later than this, it must be considered a new case.

I am much pleased to express my thanks for the help which I have received through Christian Science. For two years I suffered from kidney disease, which gave me great pain and often confined me to my bed for weeks.

Six years ago I had to undergo an operation, which did not improve my condition but rather made it worse. One day I told an acquaintance of mine about the hopeless condition I was in, for since the operation a most annoying bladder trouble had been added to my other troubles and pains, so that I had completely lost faith in medical treatment.

About twelve years ago a growth attended with considerable pain appeared in my right breast. I at once called in our family physician, and, after treating me for six months, he advised an operation, as neither the pain nor the abnormal growth had been checked.

I feel , impelled to give thanks to God. to infinite Love, whose goodness I have experienced in having been led into the way of truth — the way which leads to peace and health.

During my stay at Berlin in May, 1909, my attention was drawn to Christian Science. My love for my mother, who was very sick at that time, led me to attend a Wednesday evening meeting, and on the following day I called on a practitioner with the hope that through the ministry of Christian Science my mother might be saved.

It is with a feeling of deep gratitude that I wish to testify to having been lifted, through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," from spiritual darkness into the light of Truth, the recognition of the fact that I live and move and have my being in God, divine Principle. It has become clear to me that God is omnipresent good, the only power, filling both heaven and earth, omnipotent Love; therefore there can exist no other power, and the seeming power of evil is error, illusion, unreal, as the Master taught nearly two thousand years ago.

I feel it a privilege to tell of the benefits we have received through the study of Christian Science. I am grateful for some understanding of the power of Truth, and for the opportunity to study and learn more each day of its application in healing.

For eight years Christian Science has been my only physician, and in that time I have had many proofs that it heals sin and disease. I turned to Christian Science in a time of great mental distress, and this wonderful truth has healed me of forms of idolatry, hate, malice, selfishness, and many other evils, and is becoming more practical in my life every day, for as I strive to live in obedience to its perfect Principle, God, I am being freed from fear and all discord.
