Testimonies of Healing
I wish to corroborate my daughter's testimony. The same Christian Science practitioner has also helped me many times.
I studied Darwin, Ingersoll, and many others, but in times of trouble I would say, If only I had a God to whom I could turn. I heard of Christian Science in a vague sort of way many years before I turned to it, but had no idea what it was all about, until one day in the country I met a lady who had been healed of neuritis in her arm through Christian Science treatment.
I am very grateful to be studying in Sunday school the teachings of Christian Science. With joy I can say that I have been freed from many illnesses, including measles, mumps, and indigestion.
It is with deepest gratitude that I wish to give my testimony to the healing power of Christian Science. During the year 1909 I visited three physicians, hoping to receive help for what was called nervous exhaustion, which caused frequent spells of despondency, stomach trouble, and weakness.
In my early twenties, when I seemed a helpless victim to the dictates of the physical senses, Christian Science came to my aid and restored me to health, giving me a wonderful sense of freedom and a sound mind. For the latter I am deeply grateful.
Seventeen years ago I was a young student of Christian Science. My religion was not tolerated by my family, and I was working out of a condition of lack and limitation.
I wish to express deep gratitude for the many healings Christian Science has brought to me and to members of my family. I am especially grateful for the healing of my granddaughter of infantile paralysis when she was five years old.
I should like to express my great gratitude for Christian Science, and for its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, whose consecrated study of the Bible enabled her to give to a waiting world a religion that heals all diseases. In 1923 I commenced the study of Christian Science, and in a little while was healed of double rupture of sixteen years' standing, of varicose veins, and of fallen arches.
In gratitude to God and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I give my testimony with the hope that it may benefit another. For many years I had a dread of extreme weather conditions, such as high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.
When a young girl, I was allowed to go to any church or Sunday school I cared to. Usually I attended where my friends went, and I visited quite a number before I started going to the Christian Science services.
