Testimonies of Healing

I am very grateful for the teachings of Christian Science, which have shown me the path I should take from sense to Soul, and which have enabled me to understand God so much more clearly than I had ever done before. I had my first introduction to Christian Science about twenty-seven years ago through a practitioner to whom my husband had gone for the healing of tubercular fistulas.

About eight years ago I was suffering from chronic constipation to such an extent that I went to doctors to be examined and X-rayed to see if there was any possible way to get relief.

Grateful for release from suffering, and for a marked change in my outlook, I quote our Leader's words (Poems by Mrs. Eddy, p.

The years which have elapsed since I first became a student of Christian Science have been a record of most joyous spiritual unfoldment. During this time I have had many proofs of the healing power and regenerative influence of divine Love.

For a long time it has been my sincere desire to submit a testimony expressing gratitude for Christian Science. First, I am profoundly grateful for having had Christian Science all my life.

In the fall of 1888 my mother began having Christian Science treatment from one of Mrs. Eddy's early students.
