Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. It has raised me up from semi-invalidism to health and peace.

It is a loving desire to share with all mankind the many blessings I have received through the efficacy of Christian Science which impels me to give this testimony. "Having no hope, and without God in the world," I turned to Christian Science after all material means had failed, and I was healed of tuberculosis of the lungs.

From childhood I suffered from stomach disorders, and from headaches caused by astigmatism. Ailments increased in number as I grew to womanhood.

How can one be grateful enough for Christian Science, which blesses all mankind! For surely, as each individual is blessed, blessing is brought in some degree to all. I was led to take up the study of this Science about thirteen years ago, not for physical healing, but because it seemed to me to be a logical, satisfying religion.

A realization of the fact that "man's extremity is God's opportunity" was mine in November, 1912. I was taken with nervous prostration in its worst form, due to overwork, and was given up by the physician, who told my parents I could not live twenty-four hours.

I Wish to express my gratitude to God; to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower; to our dearly beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and to the practitioners who are ever on the field ready to help us see the light of Truth and Love, revealed through Christian Science. I have proved beyond a doubt the truthfulness of the facts given us by our beloved Leader in her writings.

Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. " When I was a small child, a dear grandmother, who' was a Christian Scientist, kept her light of faith and understanding so brightly shining in our home, even in the midst of misunderstanding and opposition, that now I have come to glorify our Father in heaven.

I LEARNED of Christian Science when I was in my teens, and I can never feel grateful enough for its help and guidance during the last twenty years. I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical healing, but because I had had a miserable and unhappy childhood, and felt a great need of care, guidance, and protection.

When Christian Science was presented to me, I was surrounded by materia medica, having in the family a physician, and also a druggist who owned and operated a drugstore. I had exhausted the resources of medical science in an effort to find my way out of a maze of encumbering difficulties that had assailed me from childhood.

Christian Science was brought to my attention over thirty-five years ago, when I was in "the valley of the shadow of death. " After trying all the material remedies which offered any hope, I was sick, helpless, and ready to die.
