Testimonies of Healing
About the end of the first week in January, 1929, while waiting for a streetcar, I slipped and fell, my legs going under the running board of a taxi which was standing beside me. When I reached my apartment I found that the front part of my right leg had been scratched in the fall.
After enjoying the benefits of Christian Science for many years, and receiving many healings, I wish to offer this testimony in expression of my deep-felt gratitude. About fourteen years ago, when I was seven, I made a trip from Cleveland, Ohio, where we were living at the time, and visited my sister in St.
Since I have been benefited by Christian Science for over twenty-five years, it is with gratitude for the many blessings received that I send this testimony. I did not take up Christian Science for physical healing, although I needed it.
The following testimony is given with a heart grateful for the many blessings that have come into my experience since I began the study of Christian Science. About five years ago I married into a family of Christian Scientists.
About two years ago our thirteen-year-old boy cut his hand in a machine. After a few days the condition became so bad that we consulted a doctor.
I wish to add my expression of gratitude to those of the thousands who have been uplifted and healed through the truths which have been so lovingly and unselfishly given to us by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and her other writings. Eight years ago it seemed that everything dear to me had been taken away from me.
I am humbly grateful for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought to me and mine. I first heard the words "Christian Science" in 1911.
It is with deep gratitude and humility that I tell of the wonderful healing of my son. Twenty years ago he was healed of infantile paralysis in three days.
For the benefit of anyone who is looking for eternal life, wondering if he has found the way in Christian Science, I should like to relate the experiences of our family in finding the truth. More than twenty-five years ago the physicians gave my mother six months to live.
When I first heard of Christian Science I was sorely in need of spiritual understanding. I was poverty-stricken, had atheistic leanings and poor health.
