Testimonies of Healing

When a child of twelve years, I was baptized and admitted to membership in an orthodox church in a small college town. The same year I heard Christian Science mentioned in a general discussion.

For twenty-four years Christian Science has been meeting my needs. I should like to mention an outstanding instance of protection and healing.

From early childhood I had not enjoyed physical harmony, and during the first year of our married life, ' my husband decided that I should seek advice from the best medical authority. He was a druggist by profession, and felt qualified to choose surgeons whose diagnoses could be trusted.

Christian Science came to me in answer to prayer, not for physical but for mental healing. One whom I dearly loved had passed on, leaving me with two young children to bring up, and I found that a complete change in my mode of living was necessary.

The testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals have so often helped me that I wish to add my testimony of praise to God for His infinite goodness to His children. In the fall of 1916, while I was suffering from a complication of diseases which had been pronounced incurable by a number of physicians, Christian Science was presented to me by a dear friend.

My wife and I, although only young students of Christian Science, have had some wonderful demonstrations of its healing power, for which we are humbly grateful. I should like to express my thanks and gratitude for my first healing in Christian Science, which took place almost four years ago.

I became interested in Christian Science about twenty years ago, and am grateful for the many blessings that have come to me during these years through its study and application. One of my first healings was that of chronic headaches.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. " I should like to express my gratitude for some of the benefits we have received during the six years of our study of Christian Science.

In 1904 Christian Science healed me of anemia, nervous prostration, indigestion and all the attendant suffering. I had been a semi-invalid for twenty-one years.

I am giving this testimony in gratitude for the many loving testimonies that have come to me through the Christian Science periodicals, and because of the good I have received from Christian Science, which came into my life fifteen years ago. At that time I was greatly in need of spiritual light.
