Testimonies of Healing
It is with much gratitude that I give this testimony of a healing I experienced in September, 1915. For many years I had been afflicted with spinal trouble, which specialists had failed to cure.

Christian Science means everything to me. for not only has it saved my life, but it has also filled it with health, harmony, and happiness.
When a young girl, I attended a piano recital as a guest of a Christian Science practitioner.
