Testimonies of Healing
I offer this testimony in deepest gratitude and in the hope of helping someone else who is searching for Truth. I first heard about Christian Science in Portland, Oregon, in 1910.
I have received so much help through my study and application of Christian Science that I feel the time has come for me to share some of my experiences with the readers of our periodicals. Shortly after the First World War my husband and I found ourselves in a strange city with most of our savings gone and very little income.
On page 197 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, these words are written: "A minutely described disease costs many a man his earthly days of comfort. What a price for human knowledge!" Before I became interested in Christian Science, a number of my fellow workers had undergone medical treatment for appendicitis.
Sometimes human beings have to be driven through ill-health or other misfortunes to seek help in God. When they have at last found the pearl of great price, they wonder how they could live without it.
" O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him" ( Ps. 34:8 ).
Some years ago I was away from my home for many months, seeking for some means of healing, for I had been told by doctors that not a single part or organ of my body was normal; that every possible material remedy had been tried without success; and that nothing more could be done for me, and they felt they could no longer take my money for trying to help me. During this time I was asked by an aunt if I had ever read Science and Health by Mrs.
From childhood I had an earnest desire to know God better. I strove to be meek, humble, and forgiving, always wishing to be obedient.
This testimony is given in joyous thanksgiving, with the desire to bear witness to the fact that Christian Science is the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. My introduction to this Science came about eighteen years ago, when I was healed instantaneously of heart trouble while reading the chapter entitled "Prayer" in Science and Health by Mrs.
With a grateful heart I want to give thanks through our periodicals for Christian Science. I also want to express my gratitude to God, the Giver of all good, for revealing the Christ, Truth, to Mrs.
My life has been greatly blessed by Christian Science. I had studied this Science for only a few months when headaches, constipation, and the need for wearing glasses, as well as unhappiness, vanished.
