Testimonies of Healing

Hoping that some one may be benefited by reading of my experience in Christian Science, I wish to tell of the blessings it has brought to me. I had suffered for years from a severe pain in my back, and had been constantly under the care of physicians.

I wish to express my gratitude to God for what Christian Science has done for me. It was the physical and not the spiritual healing that I was seeking.

Having begun my fourth year in Christian Science, it seems to me high time that I should join in the word of joyful testimony as to the immense good this healing and saving truth brings to all who will accept it with humility. I had read one or two numbers of the periodicals with interest; and having been given a copy of the text-book, I began at once, like thousands of others, to derive physical benefit from the study of it.

On July 4, 1905, in passing down some steps, I injured my knee. The following day, I attempted to go to my place of business, but was in such pain that I was compelled to return home, which I accomplished with the aid of crutches.

In the year 1868, as the writing on the flyleaf shows I was presented with a Bible. For forty years the book remained not only unread, but' lost to memory and view alike.

I AM so filled with gratitude and love to God, and to Mrs. Eddy for the healing truth taught in "Science and Health with Key to the.

After I had searched for health through all material means, a physician sent me to a Christian Science practitioner, telling me he felt sure she could help me to bear the suffering, though I must not hope to be healed.

From a heart overflowing with gratitude I write my testimony of the almost unnumbered blessings that I have received from Christian Science. I had lost all faith in medicine to cure my many diseases, for I had tried all remedies known to physicians, as well as different mineral waters and other material means, until finally the doctors said I could not be cured.

With a grateful heart I wish to tell of my healing, which was brought about through Christian Science. For two years I had been, so to speak, incapable of working, and had suffered for years with nervous debility, sleeplessness, pain, etc.

I was first attracted to Christian Science about four years ago, through the healing of my brother from chronic rheumatism, catarrh, and the tobacco habit. After having exhausted all the means prescribed in materia medica (he had been treated by the best doctors in our city, and by various doctors elsewhere), he was sent to several mineral springs for treatment, but returned home very little benefited.
