Testimonies of Healing

In the nine years I have been studying Christian Science, I have been healed, guided, and greatly helped, and I am grateful to the practitioners for their patient and loving work. When I began studying Christian Science, I was immediately healed of the smoking habit.

I should like to give an instance of an instantaneous healing in my experience. Many years ago I lay in the far-off jungles of Assam in the last stages of dysentery, the only woman in a camp of seventy men.

Many years ago I began to suffer from a glandular swelling which caused me much discomfort and interfered with my walking. For six years I was treated by physicians in two large cities, but received no benefit.

Some time ago I was unable to work and was confined to my home with a complete nervous breakdown. I realized that my mother and brother, who are students of Christian Science, had something I needed and desired, and they helped me to get Christian Science treatment.

So many healings and blessings have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science that I am happy to share them with others. I first learned of this Science through a sister and witnessed the benefits received by her family through its study.

In Psalms ( 107:8 ) we read, "Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" And on page 94 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we learn that giving thanks, or expressing gratitude, is an acknowledgment of the divine Principle which has healed us. In the Preface to Science and Health Mrs.

Christian Science was presented to me by a loved relative who, with her first reading of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, had a quick and complete healing of what doctors had diagnosed as an incurable condition.

After my mother's healing of kidney trouble, when I was a young girl, I was sent to the Christian Science Sunday School. My first healing in Christian Science was that of bilious attacks, from which I suffered once or twice each year.

With a grateful heart I wish to relate a wonderful healing, which was brought about in a very short time. My eyesight suddenly became so dim that I could no longer read and often had to be assisted in my work or when out walking.

When I was a young girl Christian Science was brought to my mother, and she was healed of many illnesses. At that period it required much courage to proclaim one's interest in Christian Science.
