Testimonies of Healing
Among the hundreds of thousands who have found the "philosopher's stone" in Mrs. Eddy's little book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I am one, and like the leper I come back to give thanks, honor to whom honor is due.
It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to Christian Science, that I offer this testimony, in the hope that it may lead some one who is suffering as I was from sickness and despair into health and a realization and understanding of the power of Life, Truth, and Love, as demonstrated in Christian Science.
November 24, 1906, was a happy day for me, as I was then released from an institution where I had been sent as a so-called incurable invalid, with softening of the brain. I remember my early fears and suffering, then all was blank; but thanks be to God, through Christian Science I have been perfectly restored, physically, morally, mentally, and best of all, spiritually.
Each day I feel more grateful for what Christian Science has done for me. For ten years I was a great sufferer from a complication of diseases.
It is two years and a half since Christian Science was first mentioned to me. Up to that time I did not know what it was to feel really well.
About two years ago I stood in darkness, as it were, knocking at the door of Truth, which seemed closed to my understanding. From my earliest childhood I had been trying to follow Christ, but with indifferent success.
Five years ago a friend took me to a Christian Science service in London. I very distinctly remember the three sentences which attracted me to this wonderful teaching.
I feel it my duty to express my gratitude for the many blessings which I have received through Christian Science and Christian Scientists. Before I knew anything of Christian Science it was my daily prayer that I might be able to join the psalmist in his words of gratitude to God, "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.
My debt of gratitude to Christian Science and to Mrs. Eddy can never be measured by mere words.
Christian Science was presented to me at a time of very great trouble and necessity. For two and a half years I had been under medical treatment for a very painful complaint which the doctors eventually decided was a serious spinal disease.
