Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has done so much for me that I wish to add my testimony, as it may be of help to some one under similar circumstances. About three years ago I was suddenly stricken while at work, losing the use of my limbs, my whole right side being badly affected.

Christian Science was brought to my notice in August, 1905. through the healing of a dear sister, who for many years had suffered from asthmatic trouble, weakness of the heart, etc.

My attention was first seriously called to Christian Science through the clear statement made by a friend, who was called upon quite unexpectedly to give a reason for the faith that was in him. Beyond knowing that this friend was a Christian Scientist, I had not heard him speak of it before, so that his clear exposition of such a subject, coming from a business man, impressed me greatly.

From my earliest childhood until a few years ago, when healing came to me in Christian Science, I had never known a time when T was not suffering from pain and weakness. Severe illnesses from lung and throat trouble, etc.

For a number of years I had a severe cough and trouble with my lungs. In the spring of 1895, while in St.

The month of January, 1900, found me a patient a hospital at Memephis, Tenn. , suffering from a severe case of lung trouble.

Love and gratitude have much to tell but are often speechless, not knowing how to express themselves, and thus it is that I find myself unable to say what I would; but as I think of our dear Leader's unceasing labors of love, her unflinching courage under every difficulty, her longsuffering, patience, and endurance, I can say as did Paul, "I thank my God upon every remembrance" of her. I would like to tell about my recent visit to South Africa, from whence I returned last November.

I feel so grateful for what Christian Science has done for me that I can no longer withhold my testimony, that others who suffer may be benefited also. A little over two years ago I became interested in Christian Science by attending one of the lectures given here in Providence.

I wish to express in a few words my thankfulness for all the good that I have received from Christian Science. I was sick, morally and physically, and had lost all hope of being healed, when I learned of this great truth, which has healed me in the measure that I understood it.

Early in 1895, after I had undergone the eighth operation, which left me a nervous wreck, Christian Science came to my attention, and I took three weeks' treatment in Kansas City. I then returned to Mexico, and not understanding how to go on in the Science alone, and with no one near to help me, we felt obliged to call in our old family physician when a seemingly dangerous condition appeared.
