Testimonies of Healing

Twenty months ago I was a very miserable, unhappy woman. I had been the victim of complicated diseases for nearly five years, being confined to my bed; and was constantly taking from four to seven kinds of medicine.

I was summoned, by telegraph, to a friend in a distant town. Hastily obeying the call, I found when I reached the home, that she had been for days under a belief of mental aberration.

The first few words that were spoken to me on the subject of Christian Science opened up such glorious possibilities, a new world of light and joy such as would be impossible for me to describe. The beautiful teachings of Jesus came to me in glimpses; and I stood still in wonder, that the world had not before seen what held us all in bondage.

Ever since my treatment, I have felt as well as I ever did in my life. I do not have a pain or an ache about me.

Two years ago this fall, I was a great sufferer—suffering in many ways. Rheumatism had troubled me since I was nine years old, so that at times I could not move my fingers.

For the cause of Truth I submit the following, trusting that it may bring one more at least into the fold of Divine Science. I was a hopeless invalid for seven years, during which time I was treated by fourteen different physicians for what they were pleased to term a complication of diseases; but, Materia Medica was baffled, and I only obtained at times temporary relief.

Twelve years ago I became interested in Christian Science and have demonstrated over mortal beliefs. So far have not used any material remedies; and, though in belief I have passed through many struggles, I have never seen the time that I was willing to give up Christian Science.

I was  directed to come to Hot Springs and use the water for medicinal purposes, as I was afflicted with a complication of beliefs. Having talked with people who had used the water for months with no relief yet, I had no faith in it.

The following is a demonstration of the power of Truth to heal morally and Spiritually as well as physically. A man who was called an infidel—in belief very profane in his talking, also a slave to appetite for both whiskey and tobacco—came as an invalid for physical healing.

Calling to see a friend, and finding her in belief very ill (having been under the care of a Physician for months. ) I told her of Christian Science, feeling confident that what had done so much for me would do the same for her.
