Testimonies of Healing

My healing was considered one of the most remarkable cases on record, by physicians who were watching the case. I was very badly injured by one electric car colliding with another in which I was a passenger.

In Isaiah we find these words: "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. " It is, however, a common experience to try every suggested material remedy for our numerous woes, before we are willing to heed this call of Truth.

I should like to add my testimony to that of the many happy and grateful ones who have been helped by Christian Science. For ten years I had been constantly doctoring for Bright's disease, liver complaint, lung trouble, and other ailments too numerous to mention.

Long before I heard of Christian Science I wished for something higher and better than the religion of the church with which I was then connected, as it did not satisfy me. At the early age of eight years I began my search for God and was baptized in an orthodox church.

It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my life from a delicate throat.

The question is often asked, Will Christian Science heal organic disease? and I desire to testify to my own healing in the hope that it will reach some one who needs help as did I. I was brought up by a good Christian mother, taught to go to church, and had the benefit of good example, but when manhood came I severed my relationship with the church and drifted into agnosticism.

In June, 1904, my wife fell from the street car and broke her arm. She went to a physician, who placed it in splints.

I wish to testify to what Christian Science has done for me. When I was about four years old I had scarlet fever, which left me a nervous wreck.

I had suffered for about five years from a general breakdown in health, had gone from one physician to another until three of Topeka's best physicians had done all they could for me without success; I had tried all sorts of medicines and supports as fast as recommended by interested friends, with no improvement whatever, but rather a terrible hopelessness of ever being any better. Then, what seemed to me the last straw was added to my burden, for my eyes, which I had been using very steadily, suddenly began to pain me so severely that I was compelled to protect them from every ray of light.

My attention was first called to Christian Science in 1896, while in the Northwest. At the time I was actively engaged in the slum mission and revival work and was preparing to enter the ministry.
