Testimonies of Healing

Dear Mrs. Eddy : I have much to say, but I know you are receiving so many letters of congratulation that your time must be limited; but I want to tell you, it seems to me that the good that will follow as a result of the Chicago Convention can not be estimated.

My Dear Teacher : It is with some hesitation that I address you, knowing how fully your time is occupied; still, I do want to tell you a few little things. I want to tell you that I realize a rapid growth in spiritual understanding.

Mr. Editor : When I first heard of this healing I was encouraged by reading the testimonies of some who had been cured.

About twenty-eight years ago I was attacked with lung-trouble. The doctors claimed that my left lung was nearly consumed; also that the right one was badly affected.

During the summer of 1886 I was stricken with a form of paralysis, which gradually took possession of my body, until I was practically helpless. Months I was unable to attend to my business.

Dear Mrs. Eddy : We have been studying Science and Health for a year, and I can not tell you how much it has done for us, giving us health instead of sickness, and giving us such an understanding of God as we never had before.

My dear Teacher : I give you two cases, showing that Mind, not matter, is the controlling power. In 1869, just after my graduation from a medical college, I was called to see a lady who thought she was suffering severely.

This saying has been well exemplified in the case of Dr. S.

For the encouragement of all who are suffering with disease, I wish to give my testimony as to what Christian Science has done for me. Over two years ago I received an injury to my back, which has constantly troubled me, at times causing excruciating pain.

Dear Journal : I would like to say a few words in favor of Christian Science. I have suffered several years from catarrh, which finally affected my lungs, stomach, and liver.
