Testimonies of Healing

It is difficult for me to give the particular reason for which I feel most grateful that the understanding of Christian Science has come into my life; whether it is for the light which it throws on the Bible, or for improvement in physical conditions, or for the aid it gives in purifying and improving the character. Nearly two and a half years ago, while living at Heidelberg, a friend from Scotland came to spend a few weeks with me in the mountains.

I came into Christian Science through the healing of one I love — seeing her strong after years of suffering — but the physical healing is small compared to the spiritual development — like the opening of a flower. Such sweetness and tenderness and strength.

My daughter's healing in Christian Science was remarkable. Her case was of long standing and considered hopeless.

Two and a half years ago I was a physical and mental wreck from stomach and bowel trouble in its worst form. I had doctored with some of the most eminent physicians for two years.

Words cannot tell all that Christian Science has done for me. It came to me in a time of sore need, when all material means had been tried and had failed.

I feel that I should give my testimony to the healing and redeeming power of Christian Science. I had not known good health from my earliest childhood.

In testifying to the benefits I have received from the study and application of Christian Science, I desire to render thanks to Almighty God, — the Principle of all good, — and to the noble woman who received the healing message and recorded the truth, with rules for its application to the needs of humanity. A message of such vital import—a divine revelation—surely demands the attention of suffering, sick, and sinning mortals, and their healing must of necessity cause expressions of thanks to the bearer of the message, Mrs.

Six years ago I was healed in Christian Science. I had been an invalid for a year and a half, in bed the greater part of the time.

I Became interested in Christian Science in 1901. For four or five years I had suffered with severe attacks which nothing but an opiate seemed to relieve.

It is nearly two years since Christian Science came to me, and I wish that I could half express the joy of it all. Years of suffering, alternating hope and despair in the search for health through all the means known to medical therapeutics, is a fitting preparation for something more than human resources.
